4-6-13 fdl county sherif f 's of f ice law of the month

With the start of the high school prom season and graduat ion part ies soon to follow, lawenforcement agencies are reminding young motorists and their parents about Wisconsin’sAbsolute Sobriety Law for drivers under age 21. The law is quite simple. Absolute sobrietyfor drivers under age 21 means they may not consume any amount of alcohol—not even adrop—and legally operate a motor vehicle.Young drivers convicted of violat ing Wisconsin’s Absolute Sobriety Law will have their licensesuspended for three months. They also will have to pay a $389.50 citat ion and will have fourdemerit points assessed on their license. (Wis. Stat . 346.63(2m)) At any age, alcohol even insmall amounts may impair the mental and physical skills needed to drive safely, such asdecision-making, concent rat ion, coordinat ion and react ion t ime. However, teens and youngpeople, who of ten are inexperienced drivers, are especially suscept ible to the adverseef fects of alcohol on their driving abilit y. Traf f ic crashes are the leading cause of death foryoung people in Wisconsin; and as the prom and graduat ion party season begins, we don’twant young drivers or their passengers to suf fer serious injuries or t ragic deaths because ofa disast rous decision, such as get t ing behind the wheel af ter drinking.

Have a Safe Month,

Sherif f Mick Fink
