Pay $10,000 for driving drunk, agency warns

Federal traffic safety officials kicked off their annual push against drunken drivers Monday, calling on states to toughen penalities and warning offenders that an offense could cost them $10,000 on average in fines, court costs and lost wages, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will bolster the effort with $11 million in national advertising.
