The penalties for drinking and driving are about to get much stiffer.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill in to law that will allow judges to take away an offenders license for up to ten years in some cases.

Under the new bill, anyone convicted of three or more DUI's in a ten year period, could have their licenses revoked for up to ten years.

Right now, those with three or more DUI's get their licenses revoked for only three years.

Governor Schwarzenegger says the new legislation is an important step toward making California's roads safer.
