Evonna Sawall Professor Kaefer English 1A April 8, 2014 Driving Under the Influence Should Have Tougher Penalties Although the punishments for driving under the influence are not pleasant, they are not effective enough. Laws for driving under the influence need to be tougher in The United States of America in order to decrease the amount of fatal accidents and repeat offenders. The best ways to combat these offenses are to increase fines, make the prison sentences more severe, and enforce alcohol interlocks into all vehicles. There are approximately 16,000 deaths a year in America. (Mothers Against Drunk Driving Organization, par. 3.) Clearly the consequences of driving under the influence need to be altered in order to stop these easily avoidable tragedies. Driving can be dangerous in the U.S. There are roughly two deaths every thirty-three minutes because of a drunk driving accident. Every 90 seconds, someone is injured because of this entirely preventable crime (MADD, par. 2). Drunk driving is the United State’s number one highway safety concern (MADD, par. 2). Driving under the influence has an arrest rate of one for every 123 licensed drivers in America. (NHTS) These accidents are much too common. Drivers were intoxicated in 41 percent of all fatal pedestrian crashes according to reports done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The amount of casualties of guiltless people on roads yearly is horrifying. Like I mentioned above, there are 16,000 deaths a year due to drunk driving. It is not fair that innocent people die or get injured because of another individual’s poor choice to drink and drive. These fatal accidents are easily avoidable, yet we cannot seem to put an end to them. There needs to be a change... ... middle of paper ... ...ut in effort, and went with the directions, imagine the amount of fatal accident we could save every year. We cannot forget that cars are dangerous. It only takes one slight swerve to severely hurt or kill someone. Don’t forget that there are approximately two deaths every thirty-three minutes. Think about that, roughly fourteen individual’s lives are taken every day. I urge you to help enforce stricter penalties for drunk driving. When society realizes the severity of drunk driving, more individuals will make an effort to increase the consequences of driving under the influence. The lives we save could be your friend or family. Work Cited "GET INVOLVED." MADD - About Drunk Driving. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 May 2014. "Legislation."

Yet with great power comes great responsibility. One of the responsibilities associated with being able to drive several tons of metal at high speeds is the responsibility of doing so without any distractions or impairments. Choosing to drive drunk puts not only the driver in danger, but also everyone else in the car and on the road. Currently, the average drunk driver will drive eighty times before getting caught by the police (1). On average, one third of all people will be involved in a drunk driving accident during the course of their lifetimes (7). Whereas driving drunk once can be seen as a mistake and a one-time lapse in judgment, choosing to recklessly ignore the law and the safety of others is a serious offense against society. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that one in three persons arrested for drunk driving are repeat offenders (2).

1153 wordsRead More - Driving while drunk is one of the very dangerous things in the life of a driver. Drivers who work under high Blood Alcohol Concentration also known as (BAC) usually expressed as a percentage of ethanol in the blood consisting of alcohol per volume of blood or alternatively mass of alcohol per mass of blood. These drivers are at a great increase of car risk accidents, vehicular deaths as well as highway risks. Drinking under the Influence commonly known as DUI simply refers to driving a motor vehicle while one has level of alcohol in their blood exceeding the legal limit. This is not limited to alcoholic content but covers other drugs that include but are not limited to prescription drugs. This leads the driver to lack coordination, experience double vision, brief blackouts and have a slurred speech. Driving under the influence causes brain impairment leading to a person feeling that they can manage a situation just like they have always handled it before. This is always as a result of poor reasoning and judgment which leaves one vulnerable to the deadly effects of drunk driving.

779 wordsRead More - fdsaopinion essayWhen starting off a discussion of such a delicate topic, it’s necessary to exercise a bit of caution. I don’t know how the people reading this see drunk drivers, whether they are related to one or have been affected by drunk drivers. I don't want to step on a landmine and end up having my argument being completely ignored. The point of this essay is to clearly state what we think should be done, though, so I'll do just that. I want there to be stricter punishments for those charged with drunk driving, or a DWI. I say this not as a person who has had nothing to do with the issue, but as someone who has, like many others, been close to a victim of this. I know that drunk drivers currently only go through a few years of jail time sometimes, but can opt out near the end with community service. In situations in previous years, the person committing the crime could not only walk away without jail time, but also without any kind of reprimand. He or she could even go on to cause other intoxicated accidents, and only then be imprisoned. What I propose is that perpetrators of this crime be given the certainty of jail time, as well as have to commit to community service in a field that relates to the after effects of drinking while intoxicated. People who have committed this crime should understand what they have done. It seems appropriate for them to play a small part in any necessary payment for anything relating to their victims, whether that means paying for funeral costs, or surgeries. These people should be made aware of how much they have affected the lives of others, both immediately and at a later point in time.
