NY just passed a new law to protect kids. Now it is a felon, to drive
DWI/DUI with children 15 years of age or less on board.

That ought to help save lives!


George Orwell just wasn't too far off...


Not that you asked, but my opinion is that anybody driving DUI with a
passenger should be prosecuted as a felon.



I tend to agree, but I think the distinction is that a child can't legally
make a decision to avoid getting in the car, where an adult can.
