Message Monday: Drunk driving could cost you a pot o' gold
Let’s be very clear. There is no amount of alcohol or drugs in your system that makes it “safe” to drive. The safest driver is a totally sober driver.
But in Iowa, like many other states, the legal limit is .08 blood alcohol content (BAC). Anything more than that amount of alcohol in your blood could cost you big time. In fact, more than $10,000 in most cases, if you’re pulled over while driving.
