Then old rule allowed a person convicted of a 2nd DUI to get a restricted license (to and from work, work related and alcohol program after serving a year on a 18 month suspension.

To boster the claim of need to line cops pockets with easy overtime pay duty, NHTSA misleading statistics are quoted . The claim of alcohol related and alcohol involved accidents are used to pad the accident statistics. Thses terms do not mean that the driver used alcohol, was over the legal limit, or impaired. They include alsohol levels as low as .01%, passengers that had alcohol and not the driver, and accidents caused by an alcohol free driver but who caused a crash and the innocent vrash victem may have had some alcohol.
