Potential compromise floated for Utah’s controversial DUI law
Video. “Let’s not have somebody lose their license for drinking, you know, one glass of wine,” said Rep. Gage Froerer, R-Ogden, who wants to reduce penalties for people busted for driving under the influence with a .05 to .08 blood alcohol level. In that range, the first offense, he said, should be akin to a “speeding ticket.” Right now, a person convicted of DUI can have their license suspended for 120 days. . . A spokesman for Utah House Speaker Greg Hughes said Hughes prefers repeal of the .05 law, but would support reducing penalties, that’s more likely to pass. Rep. Norm Thurston, R-Provo, sponsored the .05 law, and took a dim view of the potential compromise.”
