Should First Time Drivers Get a Pass?

A new bill could change the way first-time DWI offenders are treated in court.

For years, deferred adjudication hasn't been an option for folks caught driving drunk.

But now, a new bill is proposed meant to ultimately acquit drunk drivers, if it's their first offense.

They would still be required to possibly complete classes, pay fines, and serve probation, but repeat-offenders would be the ones to face harsher punishments.

M.A.D.D. is in support of this bill, filed by republican Todd Smith of Euless, TX.

Should first-time drunk drivers get a pass, only to be punished if they repeat the offense?
