Today's DWI Headlines

Did You Know?
  • Advanced Driving or defensive driving - a more advanced form of driver training to reduce the risk of driving by anticipating dangerous situations, despite adverse conditions and/or the incorrect actions of other drivers.
  • Alcohol - a potent drug with a range of side effects. The amount and circumstances of consumption play a large part in determining the extent of intoxication, e.g. consuming alcohol after a heavy meal is less likely to produce visible signs of intoxication than consumption on an empty stomach. Hydration also plays a role, especially in determining the extent of hangovers.
  • Manslaughter - also called criminally negligent homicide.
  • Breathalyzer Myths - a common myth is that breath testers can be fooled (to make one's blood alcohol content appear lower) by using certain substances. An episode of the Discovery Channel's MythBusters tested substances usually recommended in this practice -- such as breath mints, mouthwash, and onion -- and found them to be ineffective. Adding an odor to mask the smell of alcohol might fool a person, but does not change the actual alcohol concentration in the body or on the breath.
  • Automobile insurance - probably the most common form of insurance and may cover both legal liability claims against the driver and loss of or damage to the vehicle itself.
