Drunk Driving Law Turns One Year Old in West Virginia
West Virginia’s drunk driving law reaches its first anniversary amid nationwide interest for swift actions. It mandates license suspensions up to one year for first offenses, rehabilitation programs, and tougher penalties for repeats, with DMV publicizing license-revocation names. Officials say arrests fell 26 percent in early 1982, while enforcement challenges include keeping suspended drivers off roads and the burden of 24 hour affidavits and hearings.
