The curtailment of juvenile drinking and driving
The problem our group would like to address is the problem of
underage drinking and driving. We would like to see stricter
penalties enforced for miners involved in car wrecks where alcohol is
the main cause. We believe the law should be Stiffer because of all
the DWI tickets given last year the vast majority were given to
minors.
The penalties we want to propose.
1) Suspend the minors licence for 1 year
2) The minor will attend a defensive driving course for a period no
less than 30 days. 3) The minor will attend all local MADD and etc.
programs for no less than 6 months. 4) The minor will then make a
formal apology to the parties involved.
The purpose of our wanting stiffer penalties for underage drinkers is
to lessen the number of minors involved in the consumption of
alcohol while driving.
