Drunk driving is risky, as we all know. Beyond the obvious danger to life and limb, there are mandatory penalties for being found guilty of DUI in Northern Virginia. The law in Virginia now provides that a person convicted of drunk driving be required to have an ignition interlock device installed on a vehicle in order to receive a restricted license or ever have their full driving rights restored in Virginia. To get the vehicle to start, the driver breathes into the device; if blood alcohol content is above a preset limit, the vehicle will not run.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles publishes a brochure appropriately entitled “Virginia is TOUGH on drunk and drugged drivers.” It outlines the penalties that are imposed on individuals charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol in Virginia. The severity of these punishments should discourage any intelligent driver from taking such a risk when they get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol.
