Drinking and Driving is a no longer a minor offense in today’s society.  It once was regarded as a traffic violation where in smaller towns the law enforcement would shrug it off and take away the keys.  Well, these days are over.  Drinking and Driving is a serious and costly issue in society. 

It is estimated that in 2007, 12, 998 people died in alcohol and drunk driving related accidents and crashes.  Which consist of over 31% of all vehicle related fatalities in the United States.  You can find statistics involving drunk driving all over the place, including ones that state there is a death every 40 minutes due to a drunk driving incident. 

This are only statistics relating to fatalities, if you account for the injuries, property damages related to drunk driving, you’d be shocked to find out how common it really is.

Because of the real threat that drink and driving has become to our society, state legislatures, law enforcement, and private organizations have taken drunk driving very seriously and are changing the way it is dealt with as a crime and how it is enforced.

California is one of the leading states in having very progressive and strict drunk driving policies and enforcement.  A DUI or drunk driving offense in California is no laughing matter, it can cost you your freedom, your driving license and can be very expensive in the long run.
