Just because someone was convicted of drunk driving for the first time, doesn't mean it was their first time driving drunk. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show first-time offenders have, on average, driven drunk about 80 times before getting caught. Show Less

Everyone knows you should not drink and drive.

I agree however, one beer shouldn't get you a DWI or DUI either.

Debra Coffey

It is not the first time they drove drunk and can change behaviour. It's just first time they were caught.

I see people smoking joints driving beside my. That makes me feel real good also. They need to be arrested.

I have changed my insurance providers, but not my doctors.

Barbara Williams

We have to wait for continuity of care approval, tho it’s only for a short time, then have to find several new doctors
