전 미 음주 운전 테스트 강화

 

If you’re planning on driving tonight, or for the next few weeks, I have a tip for you. The police will be out there and they will be out there in unprecedented 전례가 없는 numbers, looking for drunk drivers. And here is why. There were some 43,000 deaths on the nation’s highways last year and 39% of them were alcohol-related. Wyatt Andrews has our story.

 

“It’s been absolutely devastating 충격적인 to me…and my family.” It was a year ago this weekend when Eileen Williams got the unthinkable news. Her son Kevin and a friend were killed when a drunk driver plowed into 충돌하다, 들이박다 them without stopping. Kevin was on his way to Taco Bell early on a Saturday night.

 

To fight drunk driving, federal officials are launching 착수하다 what they’re calling the biggest DUI crackdown 음주운전단속 ever. For the next 17 days from tonight through Labor Day, police and state troopers 주 경찰관 nationwide have pledged 맹세하다 unprecedented numbers of sobriety checkpoints 음주운전 검문소 and random 무작위 stops. Drunks can expect jail when policemen heatedly promised not leniency 관용, 너그러움. “Not no, but hell no! There will be no tolerance.”

 

“We find drunk drivers 24/7.” For Maryland trooper Mitch Daly, the crackdown will mean extra shifts 잔업 manning ~에 인원을 배치하다 those checkpoints. His entire barracks 막사, he told me, has signed up to work the overtime. The crackdown also has its own TV ad, spotlighting the drunk driver’s most frequent excuse. The driver who invariably 늘, 변함없이 insists he’s only had 2 beers. “Sir, have you been drinking tonight?”

 

The total number of alcohol-related deaths around 17,000 has actually been stable for the last 10 years. But to the police, that’s the problem. They believe the number should be going down.

 

The police and the families of those killed believe that drunk driving is still tolerated 너그럽게 보아주다 by too many judges. “The police are making the arrests, but then when it comes to ~에 관해서 말하자면 the judicial part, it’s just.... slap on the wrist 가볍게 꾸짖다.” And that is the point of this crackdown. A 17-day experiment to see if a no mercy policy makes a difference. “Sir, have you been drinking tonight?” Wyatt Andrews, CBS News, Rockville, Maryland.
