  2. Home for the Holidays

    During the time period from Thanksgiving to New Years Day There are more families on the road along with more impaired drivers on the road.
  3. December Is National 3 D month December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month 3 D month is a reminder to have a plan to arrive home safe. Celebrate responsibly and never drive while impaired off of drugs, alcohol or both
  4. 3D Month President Ronald Reagan in accordance with Senate Joint Resolution 241 (Public Law 97-343) proclaimed the week beginning December 12, 1982, as National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week. Now a National month long campaign used to raise awareness in the dangerous of driving while impaired. The campaign centers on arriving safe and sober throughout the holiday season. Highlighting the importance of having a designated driver or a safe ride home plan.
  5. Nearly one-third of crash deaths involve an alcohol impaired driver
  6. CDC Reported Impaired Driving Statistics In 2009, 10,839 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (32%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. Of the 1,314 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2009, 181 (14%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver. Of the 181 child passengers ages 14 and younger who died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in 2009, about half (92) were riding in the vehicle with the alcohol-impaired driver.
  7. BAC Effects on Driving
  8. BAC Effects on Driving Even at a low BAC driving skills are affected Compound the loss of necessary skills with weather conditions and you have a mix for disaster
  9. Driving While Impaired In 2009, over 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. That's less than one percent of the 147 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year. Drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths. These other drugs are often used in combination with alcohol.
  10. Drugged-Driving Laws There are three types of drugged-driving laws: 1) Statutes that require drugs to render a driver “incapable” of driving safely 2) Statutes requiring that the drug impair the driver’s ability to operate safely or “under the influence” of an intoxicating drug 3) “Per se” statutes make it a criminal offense to have a drug or metabolite in one’s body/body fluids while operatinga motor vehicle “zero tolerance”
  11. Driving while Impaired Drug per se laws are not quite analogous to the alcohol impaired-driving per se laws now in effect in every State make it illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or greater. Alcohol-impaired driving per se laws are based on evidence that all drivers are impaired at .08 BAC. Drug per se laws are more analogous to zero-tolerance laws that make it illegal to drive with certain drugs in the system. Currently, there are 15 States where it is illegal per se to operate a motor vehicle with certain drugs in one’s system. Three of those States (Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia) have determined that driving with specific cutoff levels of certain prohibited drugs or substances other than alcohol is a per se violation of its DUI statute.
  12. Driving While Impaired Of the 15 States, 12 States (Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, and Wisconsin) do not tolerate any presence of a prohibited drug or substance in a driver’s body while the person is driving. The specific drugs prohibited in these States vary . In these States, any amount of prohibited drug found in the blood or urine of a driver while operating a motor vehicle is a per se violation of those States’ DUI statutes. These States were the major focus of this study. Additionally, in 5 States (California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, and West Virginia), it is illegal for any drug addict or habitual user of drugs to drive a vehicle in that State. Two States (North Carolina and South Dakota) make it illegal for any person younger than 21 to drive with any amount of a prohibited drug or substance in their bodies
  13. Tips During the Holidays Have a choice: If serving alcohol also serve non alcoholic drinks. Ensure you monitor your drinks. Never leave drinks alone and return and drink them, they may have been tampered with. Drink slow One drink per hour interchanged with water or a non alcoholic drink. Eat before and during drinking
  14. Tips During the Holidays Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave the car keys at home If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation so you are sure to get home safely Use your community’s sober ride program If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local law enforcement
