suspension, revocation and forfeiture of one?s vehicle.

Request for Answer Clarification by laur4-ga on 04 Jan 2005 06:36 PST

Do I need to open up a new thread and question if I wanted information
on Minnesota DWI-related statistics?  For example, how many DWI
convictions are made each year, and what the average penalties are?

Yes, you would. Statistics are an entirely different matter than
published law and may be much harder (if not impossible) to find.
