Which two groups are authorized to sanction drivers who are caught drinking and driving?

The court system and the MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) are responsible for sanctioning drivers who are caught drinking and driving. The court system plays a crucial role in administering justice by adjudicating cases of DUI (driving under the influence) and determining penalties, which may include fines, license suspension, or even incarceration. The MVA, on the other hand, is responsible for upholding public safety on the roads and has the authority to impose administrative sanctions such as revoking or suspending a driver’s license based on their driving record and any legal impairments reported.

This two-fold approach ensures that both legal consequences and administrative measures are enforced to deter impaired driving and promote road safety. Therefore, the collaboration between the court system and the MVA ensures a comprehensive response to incidents of driving under the influence, protecting public safety effectively.
