2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. GB · State v. G.B.“The offense of DWLS is not a minor traffic infraction. It is, instead, a class A misdemeanor for which mandatory minimum jail terms and a maximum term of one year have been established. In this regard, the seriousness of the offense — and, by extension, the legislature’s perception of the seriousness of the inherent danger of the offense— ranks close to the seriousness of driving while intoxicated, a crime the supreme court has expressly found to meet the imminent public danger criteria.”
