DUI’s are very common in America. About 17,419 people die because of alcohol related crashes.http://www.onlinelawyersource.com/criminal_law/dui/statistics.htmlPersonally I think that this is a sad statistic because I feel as if people should know this is a common problem so wouldn’t you think out of common sense they would they to better themselves and others and stay safe? When you are arrested for a DUI it is considered a felony. Unfortunately the people who case the accidents do not even suffer. What happens a lot is the victim (other person in the crash) suffers a lot. When looking around for information about DUI’s you realizes that is such a huge topic that many people like to blog about it. Not only that but it is a great way to see people talk about it and we can all learn from what other people say, because some of the people who blog it are even people who had once suffered from someone involving a DUI. http://wordpress.com/tag/dui-statistics/ . Just in case you do not know DUI means driving under the influence. You should never drink and drive. Young teens especially need to be careful since they always seem to find the parties with the most booze. And remember always try to spread your knowledge because one day you may save a life just by making the right decision.

I agree that DUI is a common problem in America, and it is looked upon as if it's a speeding ticket. Everyone is aware that drinking slows down the brian and you are not able to funtion well. So why is it that people still get in the cars and drive? There are many factors to this questions and i believe why many people, especially teenagers, get into alcohol related accidents is because friends dont look out for each other. I belive that they should either lower the legal limit or not have a limit at all because there are still a large amount of accidents that happen everywhere around the world.
I also agree that DUI is common problem. I think to fix this problem they need to raise the punishment for drinking and driving. I think they should raise the punishment because in most cases the drunk person is the one the walks away with little injuries. While the victim can be scared for life for something that no their fault.
I agree with you too, that DUI is a huge problem nowadays. So many people die and so many people become mentally and physically disabled after drinking and driving, but people still do that. Nobody knows how to prevent this, even if government spends a lot of money to solve this problem. And the fact that you will drive 200 times while drunk before a policeman will stop you is so scary. But I afraid that most drivers who drink and drive will not be alive by this 200's time.
