A new focus at NBC 26: Project Drive Sober. The goal is to encourage northeast Wisconsin drivers to be sober. The initiative is not about drinking; instead, Project Drive Sober confronts the choice to drive after drinking. The issue will be a mainstay on NBC 26 newscasts and nbc26.com. Wisconsin is the only state in the country where a driver’s first operating while intoxicated, or OWI, offense is not considered criminal by the court system, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Instead, a first OWI is a civil offense and comes with a fine. Do you have a tip, comment, or idea for Project: Drive Sober? Call our hotline at 866 WI-SOBER or e-mail us at [email protected].
