A drunken driver was subjected to field
sobriety test (FST) that also involved
tests that would verify the sanity and
clarity of his mental health. Questions
about the date of one’s birthday were
posed to the accused on the pretext
of sobriety test being conducted.
Driving
under Influence (DUI) has become
a never ending menace leading to a number
of social issues. Inspite of the measures
taken by the Government to curb the
rise in drunken driving
accidents, the seriousness of the issue
has not been understood by the public
in general.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is considered
as a serious offence in most of the
states in the US. Any individual who
is found operating a vehicle under the
influence of alcohol and is tested above
the specified Blood
Alcohol Content (BAC) measure is
said to be convicted under a drunken
driving offence.
A fact sheet pertaining
to the effects of alcohol has been compiled
in order to clarify certain view points
and provide information pertaining to
drunken driving cases.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is considered
a very serious crime in many states
in the US. In order to curb the rise
in the number of DUI
cases and fatal accidents due to drunken
driving, many states have imposed strict
rules and regulations. One of the states
where driving under the influence of
alcohol is viewed strictly is the state
of Alaska.
Driving under the influence
of alcohol is a serious offence in almost
all states in the US. In order to ensure
that people are made aware of the rules
and regulations a number of measures
have been taken by the government and
other social organizations to educate
the public and to create awareness about
hazardous consequences of drinking and
driving.
