    Driving under the Influence is a dangerous trend and is known to cause many critical accidents and deaths which could have been easily prevented. Even though the consequences for DUI arrests are strict, they seem to not be effective enough. The toll of alcohol-related deaths, repeated offenders, and accidents is still rising, leaving the streets dangerous and families devastated. Over half the drivers arrested for drunk driving in the nation, are repeated offenders. I stand strongly against drunk drivers; They are a threat to themselves and society and believe that they should be taught a tough lesson when caught. Therefore, the charges for Driving Under the Influence laws need to be more severe. In the following paper I will present numerous reasons, followed by examples as to why the DUI laws should be increased, starting with statistics and tolls of alcohol-related deaths.…

    In America there are 233 billion trips in cars each year. Out of those, every two thousand trips are taken by those who are driving under the influence of alcohol or better known as DUI (MADD, 2014). An estimate of one-third of DUI cases that end in crashes, deaths, arrests, and injuries, comes from repeated offenders.

Driving under the influence is the cause of dangerous roads in America.

Drivers convicted of a first- time DUI should receive mandatory jail time.…
