DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
.08 Standard DUI :
The .08 standard, while it looks good because it snares more people, did snarl up the regional jail system. And it didn't necessarily take the most dangerous chronic drunk drivers off the road or cut the death toll.

DUI Driving Drunk :
But the law was changed and changed again - strengthened, in fact, to be less tolerant of multiple convictions. But a provision that stipulated four convictions in five years was inadvertently left in. The high court indicated that it had little choice. It could not consider seven convictions in 15 years as constituting four in five years.
