THIRD offense for a DUI?!? Does she have to kill someone for a fourth and maybe not even final offense?

Hi Karen,
Sadly, multiple DUI offenses is pretty common in this state. Despite a conviction, there is nothing stopping drivers from getting into a car. I once covered a man who was arrested 11 times for DUI and had 6 convictions.

It still boggles my mind. I don't know what it is about the "culture," or whatever, of Massachusetts that the state refuses to take a harder line on this situation. It's an offense that's just not taken seriously, even though it's life threatening for both driver and any other potential victims, whether driver or pedestrian.

To me, it's not about getting "tough." I think the best solution is to get treatment for people who struggle with alcohol. That way, they won't even consider doing this.
