Drinking Bill Faces Hostile Reception in North Carolina Assembly
In Raleigh the House Judiciary I committee rejected Rep. McNeill Smith's driving after drinking bill. The proposal would criminalize operating a vehicle after consuming alcohol with Breathalyzer readings from 0.05 to 0.10 percent. A 0.10 percent reading would prove drunken driving. The panel also killed Sen. Norman Joyner's measure banning any alcohol in moving vehicles, despite Senate approval two weeks earlier.
