The rate of drunk driving is highest among 21-25 year olds (23.4%)
You can always tell the rookie DUIs as they tend to take the Breathalyzer test back at the station (the one that is admissible in Court) and then when the results clearly indicate impairment they usually opt for a standard 24D disposition, which is of course only available to first timer's.
Take Tyler Anderson, age 21, for instance:
In Eastern Hampshire District Court on Monday Mr. Anderson took the standard 24D plea deal and as a result loses his license for 45 days, pays $600 in fines/fees, takes a alcohol driver education program, and will be on probation for a year.

Kristin Hill, age 21, stands before Judge Payne
Kristin Hill had her case continued until December 1st as she thought a Public Defender would automatically be assigned to her. Considering she also too took the Breathalyzer (failing miserably) she should probably save herself the private attorney fee and go with the 24D disposition.
Busy weekend for all things alcohol:

Get these people off the road -- and not just for 45 days. There is no right to drive. We need to keep our roads safe.
A sober but tired driver is every bit as dangerous...
The problem is not these young drunk drivers, the problems is the poor quality of parenting in this state.
These same kids prob. were rushed from dance class to SAT prep class and yet still no one taught them how to do one of the most commonly shared adult activities in the US and Amherst (where the parents knew they were going)....getting drunk.
This is reflection in the poor quality of parenting in the state. We should start calling out and shaming these folks for their failure.
I feel sorry for this girl -- only 21 and look how rotund.
Her so-called "friends" exploit her for a free ride, get her into trouble (trooper stopped her because 5 people in back seat) and then abandon her.
Welcome to UMass....
DOB is not blurred in her affidavit.... I know you usually ensure this...
The second statement: oh how you can tell the professionalism of the state police. Compare that description of events with an APD one. APD, try harder!
