Zero tolerance debate on underage drinking and driving in North Carolina
In a 1969 reflection on a House Judiciary II Committee debate, Rep Hugh Lee backs a Governor task force proposal for zero tolerance for drivers under 21. The bill would revoke licenses for those under 21 with any alcohol in their blood, while 21 and over face no similar strict rule. A limited driving privilege would exist for under 21 drivers with low BAC on first offenses. The piece argues youth imprudence and risks, urging firm prohibition and warning families about the consequences of drinking and driving.
