POMONA – Tatiana Jaimes could tell that her childhood friend was too drunk to drive. So when she saw Telassie Dague take her car keys out in January at a San Dimas bowling alley on Jan. 23, Jaimes grabbed them out of her hand and told her not to drive.
Alan Michael McConnell, Dague’s friend, was standing nearby. He was visibly drunk, Jaimes testified Tuesday in Pomona Superior Court. McConnell “grabbed my wrist and took the keys,” Jaimes said. “He was like, `I’m driving.”‘
Jaimes told him he was too drunk to drive and continued arguing with him until Dague interrupted. “Lassie was like, `Just let him drive,”‘ Jaimes said.

Effectiveness of current legal standards in deterring Drunk Driving
The question often posed by parents and law-makers when passing new laws relating to drunk driving and when improving old laws is how effective they can be in reducing drunk driving and in the case of renewing old laws, how better they should perform as compared to the original law. At the end of the day, the goal of all members of the society is the same, to reduce drunk driving and to spread awareness among parents and their kids about what drunk driving can do to your life and your career.
