Today's DWI Headlines

Did You Know?
  • 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.
  • TCP - Trace Constitutes Positive - BAC legal limit for drivers under the age of 21, which, since 1989, has been the uniform minimum purchase age for alcoholic beverages throughout the U.S.
  • Driving after consuming alcohol - generally not illegal in the U.S. unless the driver’s ability to drive safely is impaired as defined by law.
  • Collision insurance coverage (Coll) - insures against the cost of repairing the vehicle following an accident or the cost of purchasing a new vehicle if it is damaged in an accident beyond economic repair.
  • Driving while consuming alcohol (not after consuming) - often defined as illegal, irrespective of whether or not the driver is impaired. In some jurisdictions it is also illegal for an open container of an alcoholic beverage to be in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle or in some specific area of that compartment.
