Another Sports Star gets a DUI

Add another one to the list. This time it's an international soccer star. This shows that drunk driving is a worldwide problem. Most of the times, I enjoy seeing these sports stars getting pulled over for a DUI, but this is starting to get sad. 

Either these guys are just arrogant or just plain stupid. He'll probably get off with a slap on the wrist. We'll just be thankful no one was injured.

Worst Drunk Driving Holidays Are....

As the holidays come near at we visit our share of holiday parties, we have been known to have more than a drink or two. Holidays, unfortunately have been known to factor into higher drunk driving accidents as people tend to drink and drive more than usual. 

If you are attending any parties please don't drive drunk. So what are the holidays where we see an increase in drunk driving accidents?

New Years Eve
Labor Day
Memorial Day
Independance Day
Thanksgiving

You can read more here.I think it has to do with the holidays ending on a three day weekend. What are you thoughts? If you are going to go to any parties this weekend or during the holidays, please don't drink and drive.

Heather Locklear gets Drunk!

She should be ashamed. We have another actress that was arrested for driving under the influence. When will these people learn. It's dangerous and you might severely injure someone when driving impaired.

She's probably going to need help defending her dui case in court. I'm sure she has more than enough for a good defender and she won't likely end up like Paris Hilton.

With some many stars getting arrested for driving under the influence, it's hard to think that they are getting any special treatment. That's a good thing and publicizes the penalties of drunk driving.

Please, think before you drive while impaired.

Ignition Locks still act as deterrents for Drunk Driving

It looks like drunk drivers are having a bit of trouble with the key ignition locks. I agree that this is a good deterrent for those that have been drinking and are still trying to get in the car. Especially, if they have already fighting a current DUI. I also have an issue with the common sense aspect to this. If we have to put a lock on someone's ignition in order for them to drive drunk, this really goes beyond the issue doesn't it?

Ideally, you'd like to circumvent the issue itself. In this case it's the driver, not the car.

Boston Globe reports more on DUI ignition locks.

Looks like Shia LeBeouf has been out drinking and driving.

EVERETT, Wash. -- A 10th drunken driving conviction has landed a Lynnwood man a seven-year prison sentence. Apparently, this guy must think this is some sort of video game.
