Write a written persuasive speech about driving under the influence.

Driving Under Influence, or more simply drunk driving, is dangerous. It endangers not only the driver but also others sharing the road; like pedestrians, passengers of other cars, and occupants in the drunk driver's car.  Many lose their lives or suffer serious injuries due to DUIs.

The legal consequences of drunk driving are also severe. DUI laws vary state by state but many call for mandatory alcohol education, suspended license or even jail time for repeated offenders.

In addition to legal consequences, a drunk driver may lose work time due to the legal proceedings or even the job. If the case becomes public, the driver may lose social respect and feet guilty from damages done to others in the community.

When you dine out and enjoy a drink, always consider alternatives to get home. Take a cab, use public transportation, walking, or have a designated driver. Just do not drink and drive!
