Is DUI / DWI really a big problem, or is it all just hype?
DUI / DWI is a very, very serious problem. Thousands of Americans are killed each year in DUI / DWI accidents. Although many of those accidents result in the death of the intoxicated party, a significant and unfortunate number involve the death of “innocent” parties who had the awful luck of being in the wrong place at a time when someone chose to drive a car while impaired. It is not all hype, or a big deal created by party poop ers and wimps. DUI / DWI is very dangerous, both for those individuals who chose to operate a car under the influence, and those individuals who they hurt or kill. In addition to the severe physical injuries that may result in a DUI / DWI accident, there are also serious emotional and mental scars that may never fully heal for both the offenders and the victims.
