I suppose I understand the spirit behind this Lubbock, TX law, but it definitely missed the mark. And it’s easy to see why no other place in the Lone Star State ever incorporated it as law.
Driving under the influence of alcohol, or any drug, is dangerous. In Texas, you can be punished with up to a $2,000 fine, up to 180 days in jail upon conviction with three mandatory days, and you can lose your driver’s license for up to a year.
That makes sense. We’ve got to punish people who make our roads unsafe, but if there’s anyone out there who can explain to me why this absurd driving law exists, I’m all ears.
