In the United States, there are over 300,000 incidents of drunk driving per year. Statistics show that a person charged with drunk driving has likely done it up to 80 times before being caught. While it may not always feel like it to the driver, receiving a DUI can help to avoid serious issue in the future. Repeatedly getting behind the wheel after drinking or taking drugs is risking the lives of the driver, passengers, and others on the road. DUI educational programs in Towson are available to give individuals the help they need.
DUI Versus DWI
Individuals receive a driving under the influence (DUI) charge when driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or impairing substances. In Maryland, a DUI charge comes with 12 points on the license, a $1000 fine, and up to one year in jail.
Driving while impaired (DWI) charges are issued when a driver is caught driving “not to their fullest capabilities.” This is considered a lighter charge in Maryland than the DUI. When taking a breathalyzer test, a DWI charge is for anyone that ranks a blood alcohol content between 0.07 and 0.08. This charge results in eight points on the license, a $500 fine, and up to 60 days in jail.
Make no mistake that both charges are serious. Often, mandatory or voluntary DUI educational programs are considered the next step. For anyone looking for DUI educational programs in Towson, the Bergand Group is the top choice.
How DUI Educational Programs Helps
People who are receiving DUI or DWI charges are in dire need of help. Addiction is a dangerous disorder, and one of the warning signs of losing control is when individuals start to make harmful decisions. Choosing to get behind the while impaired can have serious and fatal consequences. A DUI educational program helps individuals get the help they need to turn their lives around. The chances of recovery from addiction are significantly higher when receiving professional and consistent help. A DUI educational program can help people regain control of their lives.
