Underage Drinking Could Lead to Loss of License
May 26, 2008
A new bill passed in Illinois states that any minor charged and convicted of underage drinking could lose their driver’s license for up to 3 months — without ever stepping foot near a car.
The bill, which was passed by the Illinois General Assembly in August 2007, went into effect on January 1st. Though the house and senate votes were close to unanimous, the new law is being met with much more disagreement by the public. People seem to agree that “drunk driving is wrong,” but find fault with punishing minors who are “just walking and not causing a ruckus or anything.” This, one 20 year old Monmouth College student feels, “shouldn’t be a big deal.”
Another Monmouth College student comments that there is in fact “an association between drinking and driving, but drinking doesn’t [imply] that you’re going to be drinking and driving… all [this law serves to do is] punish those who may or may not be drinking responsibly.”
Albert Algren, Warren County State Attorney, defends the new bill, stating that the new law is not supposed to be fair, but more of a way to get people’s attention and “a good way to get their attention is to take away their driving priviledges.”
The effectiveness of the law is still being questioned, and it is uncertain to what degree it will be enforced.
