Turns out — even with the nation’s strictest drunken driving standard — Utah isn’t the worst state in which to get busted for a DUI.
That title belongs to Minnesota, according to a new study released this week by the Utah law firm of Siegfried & Jensen.
“The interesting thing with this study,” explained Siegfried & Jensen attorney Resh Jefferies, “is that Utah did not come out number one, which I think a lot of people would have assumed.”
In the study — titled “The Toughest DUI Laws & DUI Penalties by State” — states were scored using 21 statistics, including DUI accidents, limits for blood alcohol content (BAC), fines, penalties and related legislation.
