(Newser) – Laws against drunken driving are admirable in intent, but a case can be made (with stats to back it up) that they actually make our roads less safe, argues Radley Balko in Reason. Measuring blood-alcohol levels is misguided given the vast differences in how individuals... Read full story »

Police Arrest Zamboni Driver for Possible DUI

Man allegedly had a few before resurfacing the ice

(NEWSER) - A Minnesota man with three drunk-driving convictions on his record was busted yet again Monday night ... but this time, instead of a car, he was driving a Zamboni. A PeeWee hockey coach called 911 after players, parents, and spectators at the Hayes Arena noticed the driver weaving and running into the boards, taking 25 minutes to do a 10-minute ice resurfacing job, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune .

DWI Among Women Jumps 29%

As of 2004, 20% of all arrests were of females

(NEWSER) - The career of ex-FAA chief Randy Babbitt might be the latest casualty of a drunken-driving arrest, but a new report shows that DWI has an increasingly female face. The number of women arrested on suspicion of DWI shot up 29% between 1998 and 2007—up from making up only 9% of all arrests 30 years ago to 20% by 2004. And as the Washington Post notes, female drunk drivers are older and more educated, but earn less than men who are busted. Perhaps most tellingly, however: They're likely the primary caregivers to children, leading blogger Janine D'Arcy to wonder if "mothering and drinking may be a more common problem than we realize." The summary of the report by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation is here (PDF). More»

FAA Chief on Leave After DWI Arrest

Randy Babbitt was driving on wrong side of road, cops say

(NEWSER) - Seems FAA administrator Randy Babbitt may have been flying a little too high over the weekend: Police in northern Virginia charged the veteran pilot with drunk driving after they spotted him driving on the wrong side of the road Saturday night, reports the Washington Post . Babbitt was alone, not involved in any accident, and cooperated with police, the Post notes. He requested the leave today, and Deputy Administrator Michael Huerta will take the FAA helm while Babbitt's employment status is under review. Babbitt has held the post since June 2009. More»

Woman Passes Out, Wakes Up, Runs Over Husband

Texas driver charged with DWI

(NEWSER) - A Texas woman passed out at a red light, awoke as her husband tried to rouse her, then drove off dragging him along outside the car, KDAF-TV reports. Police suspect 50-year-old Mary Jane Lane (yes, her real name) passed out while under the influence of prescription drugs at the stop light. Her husband exited the SUV from the passenger side, opened her door, and tried to undo her safety belt, presumably so he could take over driving. That’s when she “came to” and hit the gas. More»

Convicted of DWI, CEO Runs Company From Jail

Sixty-day sentence makes him first of publicly traded firm

(USER SUBMITTED) - First he drank. Then he drove. Then he was thrown in jail. Finally, Louis Lower, the 65-year-old CEO of Horace Mann Educators Corp., a publicly traded insurance company, decided to tell his board of directors that he would be unavailable for 60 days while he served his sentence in a Florida county jail. And in doing so, Lower became the first CEO of a publicly traded company to be running it from behind bars. More»
