All drivers and motorists are required to follow traffic rules. Those who choose to ignore their responsibility will receive a punishment that corresponds to the graveness of the offense that they committed.
In fact, a Lake Elsinore councilman was recently sentenced to three years of probation and six days in custody after he pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor DUI.
Reports stated that Thomas Buckley, 44, was pulled over by the authorities in November after they noticed that his vehicle does not have a front license plate.
It was determined later on that the he had a blood-alcohol level of .08.
According to Buckley’s attorney, the councilman will likely serve his six days of custody in a work release program.
Reports said Buckley was also required to join a first-time drinking driver program and pay a fine amounting to $1,582.
People in high positions should set a good example and avoid doing negligent actions that other people may follow. Drivers will continue to disobey traffic rules if the people whom they look up to also disregard them.
