Raleigh Drivers Without Valid Licenses

The annual North Carolina law enforcement’s “Booze It and Lose It” campaigns found that majority of drivers are operating vehicles without valid licenses. The program uses multiple DWI checkpoints around North Carolina to find drunk drivers before they cause an accident that could injure or kill themselves and innocent drivers. According to 2010’s campaign, over 3,800 DWI charges were filed.
