DEATHS AND ARRESTS FALL AS TOUGH DUI LAW TAKES EFFECT
This article briefly recounts Arizona's accomplishments in dealing with the DUI problem. A decrease in traffic fatalities and the DUI arrest rate in 1982 as compared to 1981 is attributed to Arizona's new drunk driving laws which went into effect July 24, 1982. Drunk driving is expected to decline even more in 1983 due to the formation in January 1983 of a special enforcement team administered by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety under a federal grant. The team has a criminal specialist to assist in fighting court challenges to evidence supplied by the alcohol testing devices. The specialist is also responsible for calibrating and checking all alcohol testing devices.
