Should Texas Strengthen their Drunk Driving Laws?
Lawmakers are finding their efforts to enact tougher drunk driving laws in Texas to be a tough road. Texas has traditionally been a state where lawmakers are very reluctant to create laws that would encroach the civil liberties of its residents. However, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving Texas ranks seventh in traffic deaths related to DUI, with 1235 fatalities annually. Roughly 40% of the road deaths are related to driving under the influence. This is a problem, but the question is how serious are we about trying to fix it?
