The new DUI law that went into effect last weekend is meant to scare UA students into thinking twice before driving drunk, and it should.

While it would be preferable if students had the resolve and strength to make the decision not to drive when they are intoxicated, they don't. The state did the right thing in dropping the level for a DUI from 0.1 to 0.08.

Now students must do the right thing and not drive when we are impaired.
