AND ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD

Following a review of the drinking driver problem as it exists in the U.S. today, this article states that "The revolution in drunk driving legislation, enforcement and accident prevention that has been outlined will not take place easily or soon. Lawmakers lean to the opinions of the uninformed on highway safety issues; and enforcement agencies, bureaucrats and other members of the traffic safety establishment prefer to do what they've done before, however, unsuccessfully. So long as these groups have their way, it's up to the individual motorist to protect himself and his passengers from DWI accidents." The article then provides some basic information for the concerned motorist, such as the BAC Education Chart to help one learn his own limits of consumption, information on the time of day to avoid driving since more DWI accidents occur at specific times, and basic driver alertness tips. A final suggestion offered is that seatbelts be worn by drivers and passengers.
