Drunk Driving Laws

Frank Blair, Jr., a Windber School District teacher, tried to pass a car on Route 56 when he hit 24-year-old Erica Boni's car head on. Boni died at the scene. Before getting behind the wheel, Blair had been at the Abruzzi Lodge, a private club in Windber.

Patricia Stefanik, of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, says there is a Pennsylvania law that requires a club or bar to refuse to serve someone who is visibly intoxicated. If that law is not followed, whoever gave the alcohol could be held liable for anything a person does after leaving the bar, but Stefanik says it is not that easy.

Stefanik says to actually prove that a person had too much liquor to drink, you must prove that the bar owner knew the person was beyond the legal limit.
