Did you know? In the state of California there is a new zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking. If you are stopped and have a blood-alcohol level of 0.01 percent, you could be charged with a criminal offense.
Will this stop young people from drinking and driving? Hmm, I don‘t think so. Put yourself in their shoes for a minute. Don’t you remember thinking that it wouldn’t happen to you?
Over at the Maryland Accident Law Blog I learned that the state of Maryland has started a law that if an underage driver is caught drunk driving, their license will be revoked for one year. In the state of Wyoming an underage driver cannot drive a car with a BAC of 0.02 and higher – otherwise they will be fined up to $750 for their first offense and have their license suspended for 90 days. A second time offender could be fined and spend up to a month in jail.
I believe the harsher the penalty, chances are people will pay attention. What do you think?
