There are no shortage of parents dismayed by the plethora of poor “Role models” popular couture parades in- front of our kids each day. From the sports star accused of rape, to the Hip Hop performer arrested on weapons charges or assault. Recently it seems that a week does not go by with out some celebrity being arrested for Drunk Driving (DUI).
In recent months MEL GIBSON, Tracy Morgan, Ty Pennington, Busta Rhymes and Mike Tyson all managed to get arrested on DUI charges. Lane Garrison has just been charged with vehicular manslaughter, after a December fatal car crash in Beverly Hills left one of his three teenage passengers dead.
There seems to be a new trend, with young woman celebrities behaving as bad or worse, than their male counterparts. With the woman, there appears to be less violence, but a greater degree out self-destruction. Despite being super-rich powerful, beautiful and famous, many of these young stars are absolute “Train Wrecks”. From drug arrests, to being caught in “Home sex tapes”, they seem unable to go a month without taking some step further down the road toward personal disaster. Take a look at a few of the current headlines:
Lindsay Lohan has reportedly decided to check back into rehab
after a holiday weekend in which she was booked on suspicion of DUI after crashing her car in Los Angeles
Coke Found in Lohan DUI Investigation
·
Brandy the Grammy-winning R&B artist, maybe Up For Manslaughter Charge After Death Crash
"Laguna Beach" star Jessica Smith has just been released from an Orange County jail, after being charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence....
Paris' shrink claims that Hilton is "emotionally distraught and traumatized" from the May 4 hearing where she was sentenced to 45 days in jail for breaking probation in her DUI bust
Anneliese van der Pol, co star of the Disney hit series "That's So Raven" has pleaded no contest to DUI after being arrested for driving with a staggeringly high .19 blood-alcohol level.
Nicole Richie, Nicole was spotted once again driving through L.A., just a few weeks after her 2nd DUI arrest.
California law, requires a mandatory sentence of five consecutive days in county jail as well as a one year license suspension for anyone twice-convicted of DUI .If Richie is convicted of DUI as a result of Monday's arrest, the judge must impose a jail sentence.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2004, 16,694 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes. With statistics like that, it is imposable not to take the reckless actions of these stars seriously.
Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes kill someone every 31 minutes and non-fatally injure someone every two minutes (NHTSA 2006).Occurrence and Consequences
There are serious consequences for being convicted of DUI. Those can include, loss of driving privileges, large fines, you will end up needing an SR22 insurance policy, and just possibly jail time.
Here at urban insurance Agency, we have been helping people get the insurance they need to comply with the secretary of State’s requirements, and get their license back. We have many companies that provide SR-22 insurance; so we can get you insured at the lowest rates. But remember most states are tightening up their rules and increasing the penalties for those caught drinking and driving.
PLEASE, for the safety of all on the road. DO Not Drink and Drive.
When it comes to driving, do not let Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan, be your role model.
