Underage Drinking and Driving Prevention Effort

Underage drinking and driving is dangerous. In Delaware in 2006, there were 6 minors under age 21 killed and 109 injured in alcohol related crashes. Not only is it physically harmful, it is also against the law. The Zero Tolerance Law states that anyone under the age of 21 who operates any vehicle while consuming or having consumed any amount of alcohol will be arrested. Delaware takes underage drinking violations very seriously and so should you – the penalties for violating will cost you.
