Violators often face jail time, loss of their driver\u2019s license and it could cost up to $10,000 in legal fees, fines, and result in higher insurance rates.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that a first-time convicted drunk driver is not a first-time offender, but rather it is simply the first time they have been caught.\u00a0 In fact, first-time offenders have driven drunk an average of 80 times before they are convicted,\u201d according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).<\/p>\n<p>In July 2012, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon signed into law a bipartisan bill that requires convicted drunk drivers to use ignition interlocks on their vehicles to prevent future offenses.\u00a0 This program starts in October, making it mandatory for convicted DWI offenders to prove they are sober before they can start their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese interlock devices have the power to save lives and help offenders at the same time,\u201d said MADD Missouri Gateway Affiliate Executive Director Meghan Carter.\u00a0 \u201cConvicted drunk drivers who have an interlock can keep their jobs, keep going to school, and at the same time, keep the public safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Missouri State Highway Patrol urges all citizens to report any vehicle they observe operating in a careless manner.\u00a0 The public can call toll-free 1-800-525-5555 or on their cellular phone at *55.\u00a0 Also, visit <a
