Driving Under the Influence - Talking Beat

On today's episode of Talking Beat, we're discussing driving under the influence, or driving while impaired. Whether it's alcohol, illegal drugs, marijuana, driving while impaired can and has killed on the streets of Portland. It's impact is far reaching from those who are injured or killed to those who are responsible. Later in this podcast, Sgt. Nick Newby is going to talk to us about his experience being hit by a drunk driver. But first, we're talking to Capt. Stephanie Lourenco, who oversees the Traffic Division. We're going to ask her about what's occurring on our streets in regard to this dangerous behavior, enforcement, and what the community can do.
