Operating Under The Influence Is Reckless
To endanger your life and others for a night out is totally stupid and reckless aside from the fact that it is illegal and if caught by law enforcement tests will be given to test your blood alcohol level.
According to research and other studies it has been proven that after consuming alcohol, as the blood alcohol level rises, so does the risk of getting into an auto accident due to diminished control. The BAC level can read just .02% yet raise your chance of having an accident 1.4% on tests given to those who consumed alcohol and did not.
It is quite alarming to know with a reading of .02%, which is still legal, you already have diminished reflexes, visual perception is impaired and in general the way you drive the car. These were findings on those tested with .02% so imagine as it increases how much more your abilities are affected.
Once the BAC reaches a level of 0.05%, then the impairments increase. The risk of an accident happening while driving under this level of influence is already 11.1%. This is a serious risk and one you should think twice about taking.
Don't waste your life by operating under the influence. Even if you think you have things under control as you are driving; accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. You wouldn't want to end up regretting your actions and choices. It's okay to have fun, but make sure you are responsible enough to either have a designated driver or to not drink at all.
There is a new device that can be installed in the car that reads your breath for its alcohol level and if it detects any it will not start. In some states it is being used for people convicted of operating any type of vehicle over the limit.
Even if there are no police officers in sight, you can't trick the interlock device. If you don't have a permissible BAC level, then you won't be driving anywhere since the ignition will be disabled. Finding another vehicle to drive will result in even more trouble for you if you are caught.
States vary in how they deal with offenders, such as this device. When caught multiple times for DUI your car is confiscated where in others your license is suspended after the first offense as in the District of Columbia and 20 other states. Suspensions can run from 60 days to 6 months depending on factors involved. - 21393
