DUI Victims Want Tougher Laws

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Victims and families impacted by drunken drivers are calling for the Kentucky Senate to take up DUI legislation.

"I know, however, that you are not gone from us forever, just for a little while," said Ann Lucas.

Last week, the House unanimously passed a bill, which would create a mandatory law requiring first-time and repeat offenders to install an ignition interlock device on their car.

William and Ann Lucas's son, Michael, was killed by a drunken driver three days after Christmas in 2008.

"We've gone to different classes and tried to emphasize the importance of decisions that they make that are life-changing and life-ending," said William Lucas. "We're praying that if we can get in touch, we get through to one child and to keep this type of tragedy from happening to another family it will be worth it."

Thirteen states currently require ignition interlocks for all convicted drunken drivers.
