If you drink up, be prepared to pay up.
It's been more than a year ago, Roanoke County passed a law requiring drunk drivers who cause wrecks to pay the cost of saving lives.
[***PAYING UP GRAPHIC***]
[DOUBLE BOXES=Jean & Justin /BAM;]
So how is it working? Justin McLeod is here now with an answer. Justin?
Jean, as we understand Roanoke County is the only locality in our area going after drunk drivers in civil court.
[LIVE= Justin /FULL BAM]
[SUPER=@justin1]
Since the law was adopted in March of 2002, there have been 30 D-U-I convictions and the county has been able to recover the costs in 62 percent of those cases.
But now Roanoke County wants to toughen its drunk driving laws even further.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Roanoke Co./File Tape; :]
Currently, if you are convicted of a D-U-I in Roanoke County, you could face a 100 dollar fine in addition to any criminal penalties.
The county collects this fine to recover the expenses incurred for emergency response to accidents or incidents caused by impared drivers.
State law allows localities to charge a flat fee of 100 dollars or a minute by minute accounting of the actual costs
incurred ---up to a thousand dollars.
The Board of Supervisors will soon decide whether it wants to change to that minute by minute accounting.

A new state law also allows localities to recover expenses for reckless driving that causes an accident, driving without a license or on a suspended license, and leaving the scene of an accident.
