DUI Repeat Offenders: Daily tests or jail

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Cleveland.com is carrying an AP article detailing plans in South Dakota to allow repeat offenders to continue driving, as long as they report to their local sheriff twice a day for breath alcohol testing. If they submit to daily testing and pass, they’re allowed to drive; if they don’t appear for testing or have any alcohol in their system, they’re placed in jail.

South Dakota is the first state to use a policy of this nature, with a 2 year pilot program in 14 of South Dakota’s 66 counties. The goal is to encourage the 1000+ chronic drunk drivers - those with 2 or more arrests for DUI - to make a decision to either stop drinking or stop driving.
