After a Target 12 investigation about drunk driving laws in Rhode Island, a state lawmaker is calling for change.
The National Transportation Safety Board said the Ocean State is one of the least pro-active states in preventing alcohol-related crashes. State Senator Leonidas Raptakis is now proposing three new penalties in a DUI law.
He said anyone suspected of DUI should have their vehicle impounded for 90 days, and he’d double the period of time a driver’s history can be examined from five years to ten years.
Penalties would also be increased for those convicted of hurting others while driving drunk.
