Reducing Michigan Drunk Driving Accidents & Drunk Driver Accident Facts

Our Michigan drunk driving accident lawyers represent injury victims against drunk drivers and the establishment that served the alcohol. In Michigan, any driver with blood-alcohol absorption (BAC) above the .08 percent is considered intoxicated under the law. Driving under the influence is a serious offense and is the cause of many wrongful deaths in Michigan.

Drunk Driving Accident Statistics

Since MADD launched its Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving in 2006, significant improvements have been made to reduce the number of drunk driving accidents, but there is still plenty of work to be done. Updated figures reveal that drunk driving costs the United States more than $132 billion annually. In addition, of the 10,839 people killed in 2009, 181 were children under the age of 15. More than half of them were passengers of drunk drivers. Based on a recent MADD report, the organization rated the nation a three stars out of a five star scale, based on the average of the state ratings. This shows future measures need to be implemented to better protect drivers and prevent more fatal Michigan auto accidents.

Preventative measures to Reduce Michigan Drunk Driving Accidents

Some of the recommended measures by MADD to counter drunk driving accidents are:

  • · Requiring ignition interlocks for all drunk driving offenders
  • · Conducting sobriety checkpoints
  • · Enhancing Penalties for DUI Child Endangerment
  • · Participating in No Refusal Events
  • · Utilizing Administrative License Revocation

Some states have already passed legislation regarding these safety measures, but there is much more progress to be made to eliminate drunk driving accidents nationwide.
