In the article "Nebraska man gets probation for naked joyride" a man gets arrested for six months because he was driving under the influence. Due to his two previous offences, he has his liscense taken away for 15 years and five years of probation. Nebraska law says that "Nebraska, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or higher. Doing so makes you guilty of DUI, even if your driving appears to be safe. " this is just like many other states but it shows that this man was not driving safe and the beer cans in the back didn't help. This Nebraskan man had two previous arrests and because of this..."First offenders - 60 days with probation, 6 months with jail time, Second offenders - 1 year either way, Third and fourth offenders - 1 year with probation, 15 years with jail time" This is why he got in so much trouble. Distractions while driving have been increasing since technology has been increasing. Kids are also beininng to drink earlier and DUI's seem to be happening more. "Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens and one out of three of those is alcohol related. Kids who start drinking young are seven times more likely to be in an alcohol-related crash." DUI's are serious and I think that anyone who decides to drink and drive should be punished to the maximum. "Accidents related to drunk driving take place every 45 minutes in the US."
