SEATTLE — Drunk drivers will face harsher penalties as of January 1 as part of a pilot program to crack down on repeat offenders.
“Nobody needs to be out drinking and driving, it’s pretty scary. I didn’t realize it was that bad until I finally got caught with it,” said Corey Moe, who has been arrested for DUI.
The pilot program, called 24/7, will be unveiled in Chelan, Spokane and Thurston Counties, as well as the cities of Kent and Centralia.
