68、ho_ride_in_a_car_driven_by_a_drunken_driver_should_be_punished.The minority of the students hold the opinion that punishing the passengers helps to reduce traffic accidents and increase traffic safety.Not to ride in a car driven by a drunken driver is not only a responsible behavior for passengers t
69、hemselves but also for the drivers and other people on the road.The majority of the students，however，disapprove of the idea，stating that it is difficult for common passengers to know whether the driver has been drinking or not.Whats more，even if the passenger knows the driver has drunk alcohol and has attempted to persuade the driver not to drive，it is unfair to punish the passenger when the driver does not follow the advice.As far as I am concerned，punishing passengers as well as the drivers is not only unfair but also hard to carry out.Yours_sincerely，Li_Hua
