Driving drunk is a serious problem and unfortunately most of the people who do it, dont think its a big deal. Its basically a game of the drunk vs. the cops. The drunk tries to sneak home and cop tries to hunt the drunk down. Unfortunately there are about 2000 drunk drivers for every cop. Something else to keep on the back burner....99.9% of the time when someone is on trial for a 2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,etc OWI the jury will have no idea of the prior offenses. The jury will think it is the person's first offense that way they are not automatically assuming the defendent is guilty. Some other quick information...60% of the all of the people that die in car wrecks are not seatbelted.
