Instructions: You are to interview two people and record their responses on this form. You should state their name and their comments to your solution to the identified problem.

VI. I interviewed two individuals to see what their response would be to my (our) plan. Their responses are as follows. Edie Freund- Think that one successful step is breathalyzers being implemented in vehicles, but that or higher fines or stricter incarcerations should be better implemented because innocent people are being killed because of the driver's neglect. People with drinking problems make the situation worse by getting behind the wheel. The penalties were reasonable and all possible solutions seemed to be covered. May be too many penalties for too many different situations, so penalties could be confusing for a particular situation.

John Freund- Breathalyzers should be the first punishment before jail. Everyone makes one mistake and it is the repeat offenders that should go to jail and get the higher fines.Too many people sneak through the system and courts without the proper punishment, especially in serious cases. Drunk drivers should not be allowed in cars in the first place, such as others around the person helping prevent drunk driving. The strongest solution is breathalyzers since they prevent someone from being able to start their car in the first place. Fines could be higher and jail sentences could be lower because that could overpopulate jails- if offenders killed another person, that could mean a jail sentence or more serious punishment.

VII. My (our) answer, based on our research, to their objections and concerns are In order for the bill to be successful, penalties have to be strongly implemented and the court systems need to become more strict with cases and penalizing offenders. Then, the stricter penalties can become more successful because people will notice that penalties are being enforced and drunk driving only causes problems and it will lead to fines and jail. Jail sentences and fines could be changed and altered to certain situations, or be more general to prevent overpopulation in jails and make a better influence on the offender. Breathalyzers seem to be the best, safest solution to start with because the prevent the offender from driving under the influence in the first place. After the interviews, it may be better to implement breathalyzers on the first offense and then continue with jail sentences and fines for repeat offenders.
