Drunk Driving Defies Solution

If you think stiffer penalties against those who drive while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs have curbed the problem, think again.

Periodically, law enforcement agencies conduct intensive campaigns against DUI. Six states cooperated on one earlier this month.

During a period of just three days, 700 people were arrested for DUI in Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Michigan. Of that total, 280 arrests were in the Buckeye State, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Another 25 were in the Mountain State.

That was just three days. Clearly, even more needs to be done to get intoxicated drivers off our streets and roads. Perhaps the kind of focus used during the recent three-day campaign ought to be extended throughout the year.
