| 520 | _aON THE ROAD AGAIN: MINNESOTA'S CHRONIC DRUNKEN DRIVERS--STILL DRINKING, STILL DRIVING -- "Last year [2000], more than 1,000 Minnesotans were arrested on alcohol-related charges for the sixth time or more. For 182 of them, it was at least their 10th offense. Chronic drunken drivers pose a danger on the state's roads, where alcohol-related crashes kill about 200 Minnesotans each year and injure thousands more. They clog the courthouses and crowd the jails. And Minnesota has been unable to stop them. The Pioneer Press examined the reasons this spring [2001], as Minnesota legislators debate changes in the state's drunken driving laws." (PIONEER PRESS) This article profiles several repeat offenders and discusses current legislation regarding drunken driving in Minnesota. | ||
| 520 | _aON THE ROAD AGAIN: MINNESOTA'S CHRONIC DRUNKEN DRIVERS--DWIs SWAMP THE SYSTEM -- "A 1997 federal study found that Minnesota had the highest DWI arrest rate of any state--1,385 arrests for every 100,000 drivers--and that the rate had increased, contrary to national trends, since 1991. Observers aren't sure whether the figure means that Minnesota has more drivers drinking than elsewhere, or that the state is doing a better job than othersof catching them." (PIONEER PRESS) This article examines the reasons why many drunken drivers slip through the cracks and reviews how Minnesota lawmakers are considering making "chronic DWIs a felony crime.". | ||
| 520 | _aON THE ROAD AGAIN: MINNESOTA'S CHRONIC DRUNKEN DRIVERS--GETTING OFF EASY -- "Drunken drivers are getting surprisingly light treatment in courthouses across Minnesota, enabling thousands of repeat offenders to return to the road sooner. Instead of getting the full penalties provided by state law, even the most egregious chronic offenders are treated to revolving-door justice--a cycle of arrests, plea bargains, lectures, jail time, probation violations, driving without valid licenses, and re-arrests... State legislators are grappling with a proposal that would make a fourth DWI within 10 years a felony, subjecting offending drivers to up to five years in prison." (PIONEER PRESS) This article discusses proposed penalties for repeat DWI offenders and shares a firsthand account of a mother who lost her son to alcohol-related incident. | ||
| 520 | _aON THE ROAD AGAIN: MINNESOTA'S CHRONIC DRUNKEN DRIVERS--SHUTTING OFF THE TAP -- "It's illegal in Minnesota to serve more alcohol to someone who already appears to be intoxicated, but restaurants and taverns that break the law are rarely caught and seldom penalized, the Pioneer Press has found. Unlike some states, Minnesota makes no effort to track which establishments serve drunken drivers their last drinks. Nor does the state do random compliance checks similar to those done to determine which taverns or liquor stores are selling to underage customers. If such checks were done, enforcement agencies might be surprised at what they find going on inside nightspots across the state." (PIONEER PRESS) This article examines how establishments continue to serve individuals who are clearly drunk yet escape responsibility when an alcohol-related tragedy occurs. Also included are warning signs that indicate inebriation. | ||
| 520 | _aON THE ROAD AGAIN: MINNESOTA'S CHRONIC DRUNKEN DRIVERS--A SOBERING ROAD TEST -- "The assignment: Get drunk and drive. The objective: Find out whether there's any difference between driving with a .10 blood-alcohol percentage--the level at which drivers now are considered legally intoxicated in Minnesota and 29 other states--and .08, the level proposed in a bill now pending at the Legislature." (PIONEER PRESS) The author recounts how he experimentally drove drunk at the Minnesota Highway Safety Center, served by a police officer and accompanied by a driving instructor. Also included are a list of questions and answers about alcohol, a discussion on rising DWI license reinstatement fees and an analysis of the effects of a lower blood-alcohol limit. | ||
| 520 | _aON THE ROAD AGAIN: MINNESOTA'S CHRONIC DRUNKEN DRIVERS--DWI SOLUTIONS: WHO PAYS THE TAB? -- "Minnesota's system for policing drunken drivers is choking not on beer and nuts, but on dollars and cents. Do you want to put more police on the roads to catch impaired drivers? That takes money. Hire more prosecutors, judges and probation officers to handle the increased arrests from a lower blood-alcohol limit? More money. Put some of the most chronic repeat offenders in state prisons for up to seven years under a felony DWI law? Even more money. While these and other pending proposals do face grumbling that they are too draconian, it appears state lawmakers would grudgingly give some of them a chance to work--if not for the sticking point of who will pay." (PIONEER PRESS) This article examines the monetary requirements for stiffening drunken driving laws in Minnesota. | ||
