In 2021, at a time when traffic deaths were skyrocketing, just a little over half of drunk drivers were convicted, according to a new report from Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
A new report finds that over 14 years ignition interlocks stopped 3.78 million attempts to drive drunk with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or greater.
The challenge comes on the heels of MADD’s recent analysis of 241 vehicle technologies that can be installed in cars to help prevent impaired driving.
Legislation would lead to drunk driving prevention technology as standard equipment on all new vehicles.
More than 25% of all traffic deaths are due to alcohol-impaired drivers and 300,000 people are injured every year in alcohol-related crashes.
In 2019, Arizona led the nation in taking legislative measures to combat drunk driving, and drunk driving fatalities fell by nearly a third, according to a new report from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
New proposed federal legislation would require all new vehicles to be equipped with advanced detection technology that would passively detect whether the driver is alcohol-impaired before he or she starts the engine.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Association has launched its 2019 national impaired-driving enforcement campaign, which includes a $13 million media blitz that runs through the Labor Day holiday weekend, which is one of the deadliest times of the year for roadway travelers.
In-vehicle breathalyzers have halted alcohol-impaired drivers from starting their engines over 3 million times in the past 12 years, according to data collected from 11 ignition interlock manufacturers and evaluated by Mother's Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
A report from MADD finds that Arizona, Maryland, Mississippi, and West Virginia are taking more legislative steps to end this deadly crime than other states.
