5.0 out of 5 stars Every Drunk Driving Law for Every State, February 10, 2002

By	Chris Anderson (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drunk Driving Laws: Rules of the Road When Crossing State Lines (Paperback)

Most motorists travel to different states, and while enjoying themselves, they inevitably drink alcohol. Very few people actually know the drunk driving laws of their own state, let alone another state. That is where "Drunk Driving Laws" comes in handy. It details every drunk driving law for every state, including the District of Columbia. Now, before venturing into another state, you can find out the legal limit for intoxication, criminal penalties, driver's license sanctions, fines, and everything else you need to know.

Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law, and this book is an eye-opener! I carry it with me whenever I travel, and keep it in the car just in case. Drunk driving laws can have serious consequences, so know the penalties prior to driving. This is an excellent book for everyone, and inexpensive when you consider the volume of information it contains.

If you're living so close the edge of the legal limit that you actually need a book to outline the laws of each state, you might have bigger problems than a DUI. Save yourself the cost of the book and just don't drink and drive.

This review is from: Drunk Driving Laws: Rules of the Road When Crossing State Lines (Paperback)

This book contains everything you would ever want to know about the drunk driving laws in each state. It is well-organized, has uniform categories for easy comparison to other states, and arranged alphabetically. At a glance you can find each state's laws, and learn about the fines, jail time, driver's license suspension time, blood-alcohol content level, etc. Every motorist should become well-versed in the laws of their home state, and if you like to travel then this book is essential. A must buy.
