  1. Alcohol And Technology, Two Roadway Killers

  2. We have known for a long time that drivers who operate while under the influence of alcohol are extremely dangerous for those on the roadway around them, from passengers in other vehicles to motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. We also know that driving distracted can have deadly consequences.

Dram shop and liquor laws in Pennsylvania mean that those who continue to serve a visibly intoxicated person can be held liable for damages and injuries as well. This can include bartenders and servers at restaurants. Penalties are especially stiff for those who serve minors alcohol.
