Drunk+Driving

I have chosen to make my focus on drunk driving because that is a major issue nationwide, and especially in wisconsin. Although the rates of intoxicated car accidents and fatalities have decreased, it is still a problem that could always be reduced. Lately the focus of advertisements relating to car accidents have been the issue of texting while driving. I feel that many people aren’t as focused on intoxicated driving as much as before and that could be dangerous because it can’t be forgotten about. There is a new company that I believe is extremely beneficial and could help reduce drunk driving if people it. The company is called The Drunk Drivers, and it is a company that will take you and your car from point A to B when you are too intoxicated to drive. Here is the link to learn more: []. More states like wisconsin should incorporate companies like this.

Shocking stats to keep in mind: Every 52 minutes on average, someone is killed in a drunk driving crash (10,228 people in total in 2010). Every 90 seconds, someone is injured because of this entirely preventable crime. 2 million people are repeat drunk drivers and could be on the road at any given time More intoxicated related deaths occur at night Wisconsin is the only state where the first drunk driving offense is not a crime, it is just a traffic ticket.

People need to keep in mind what their actions can do and how their actions can effect so many things and so many lives. The point is, think before you get into a car or even before you go out. Have a designated driver and safe lives.
