WV High Court Rules Drunk Driving on Private Property Illegal

Today, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals decided that if you are drunk and drive a motor vehicle anywhere in the State, whether on public or private property, you can be charged with DUI and lose your driver's license.  Previously, a person could only be charged and lose their driver's license if the drunk driving was on a public highway.  Today's decision overruled the prior law.  The full text of the Court's opinion can be found here:  Drunk Driving on Private Property Case
