Bieber’s arrest should remind everyone that each year approximately 11,000 people will die in drunk-driving crashes. That’s about one death every 50 minutes. Teen alcohol use kills about 6,000 people each year, more than all illegal drugs combined. It’s also sad to note that automobile or car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens and one out of three of those is alcohol related.

Several good links to help with DUI issues include MADD are The Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

In closing we want to point out that as both lawyers and parents of one young driver and another just two years from getting his license, we have zero tolerance for drunk drivers. Too many people are harmed and the lives to too many families are torn apart because of driving while under the influence.
