The Cary Police Department reminds motorists to not drink and drive.  We encourage you to use a designated driver or call a taxi if you believe you have had too much to drink.  Some DUI facts for you to consider:

• Nearly 46,000 people were arrested for DUI in Illinois in 2009
• 84% of drivers arrested for DUI are first time offenders
• Eleven states, including Illinois, require a first time offender to have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) installed on their vehicle
