Book excerpt: From 1983 through 1998, at least 137,338 people died and 99,812 people were injured in fatal crashes involving hard core drinking drivers, a term used in this report to include repeat offender drinking drivers as well as offenders with high blood-alcohol concentrations. In 1998 alone, hard core drinking drivers were involved in a minimum of 6,370 highway fatalities, the estimated cost of which was at least $5.3 billion. The safety issue discussed in this report is the roadway risk presented by hard core drinking drivers. The report discusses research on control measures used in one or more of the States and proposes solutions. It also discusses steps taken by the United States Congress to address the hard core drinking driver problem by enacting certain provisions in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), and suggests ways to make this legislation even more effective. As a result of its study, the National Transportation Safety Board issued recommendations to the Governors and Legislative Leaders of the 50 States and the Mayor and Council of the District of Columbia, and to the Department of Transportation.

Download or read book Getting to Zero Alcohol Impaired Driving Fatalities written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol-impaired driving is an important health and social issue as it remains a major risk to Americans' health today, surpassing deaths per year of certain cancers, HIV/AIDS, and drownings, among others, and contributing to long-term disabilities from head and spinal injuries. Progress has been made over the past decades towards reducing these trends, but that progress has been incremental and has stagnated more recently. Getting to Zero Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities examines which interventions (programs, systems, and policies) are most promising to prevent injuries and death from alcohol-impaired driving, the barriers to action and approaches to overcome them, and which interventions need to be changed or adopted. This report makes broad-reaching recommendations that will serve as a blueprint for the nation to accelerate the progress in reducing alcohol-impaired driving fatalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has long been concerned about alcohol-impaired driving, which accounts for approximately one-third of all U.S. highway fatalities. This book describes the scope of the alcohol-impaired driving problem; summarises the efforts of advocacy groups, researchers, law enforcement agencies, traffic safety groups, public health organisations, legislators, and motor vehicle agencies, as well as federal, state, and local governments, to reduce the number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities; examines the effect of alcohol consumption on an individuals ability to operate a motor vehicle and on the risk of being involved in a crash; and evaluates the effectiveness of current and emerging alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures and identifies new approaches and actions needed to reduce and ultimately eliminate alcohol-impaired driving.

Book excerpt: On May 14, 2013, the 25th anniversary of our nation's deadliest drunk-driving crash, which killed 24 children and three adults in Carrollton, KY, the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB's) five-member board voted unanimously to issue bold recommendations to help the U.S. reach zero and eliminate alcohol-impaired driving. Bold steps are needed: On average, every hour, one person dies in a crash involving a drunk driver and 20 more people are injured, including three with debilitating injuries. That adds up quickly to yearly totals of nearly 10,000 deaths, 27,000 lives forever altered and another 146,000 injured. This safety report and recommendations culminate a year-long effort by the NTSB to thoroughly examine this problem and develop a set of targeted interventions. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
