Most dont, the problem lies with insurance if the job requires them to use company vehicles.

Yeah, but that's a little specific. I drive a company vehicle, and if I got a DWI I'd most likely lose that privilege. I wouldn't lose my job though, unless the DWI was IN the company vehicle.

I would attest to saying that 80% of Americans have driven over the legal limit before.

I imagine the high insurance rates have more to do with the accidents associated with the uninsured and poor driving habits than a few DWIs.

The American criminal justice system would blow your fragile little mind.

They're really no big deal in Baton Rouge. Most of the female news anchors/reporters have one.

It is, which is why he used the grammatically mangled expression to define his parameters.

Pre-Madd, drunk driving wasn't a big deal. Cops would sometimes wait until someone came and picked you up. Now it's a pretty serious social faux pas.

Three before I was 18 and none since. All by the same cop. He actually caught me a fourth time and just followed me home. I was an idiot teenager. Ended up in juvie and boot camp. Haven't had so much as a parking ticket since (almost 20 years).
