| Publisher Description: The United States has fought a war against drinking and driving for more than 100 years. Many battles have been won, but DUI still kills more than 10,000 people in America every year, and injures tens of thousands more. "More Americans have been killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes than in all wars the United States has been involved in since it was founded," according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service. If the yearly number of DUI-related deaths remains at the same levels, the equivalent of the entire population of a city the size of Erie, Pennsylvania, Green Bay, Wisconsin, or Clearwater, Florida will die over the next ten years. This book examines the impact drinking and driving has on the U.S. and what can be done to stop this senseless slaughter on our highways. It also puts a face on the problem with many real-life stories about how drinking and driving has impacted our citizens. |
