Drinking And Driving Penalties Can Be Severe

Posted February 5, 2024 by Larracuente & Goulden, LLC

Here in Connecticut, our courts take the subject of drinking and driving very seriously. With that comes strong penalties for driving under the influence in our state. This strict stance includes not only alcohol, but the use of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and even though marijuana is legal in Connecticut, impaired driving is a serious crime. In our state, the goal is to keep people off of the roads while they are in an altered state of mind, and if you wind up caught in the act, it can follow you for years to come.
