Summary
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- As Labor Day approaches and millions of Americans hit the roads in record numbers for one last summer vacation, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) remind Americans this Labor Day weekend that the toughest and largest-ever enforcement crackdown on impaired drivers remains a force to be reckoned with.
New trend data released by NHTSA shows an average of 205 people died in crashes involving a driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher each Labor Day weekend since 1996. In 2005, 196 people died in the same kind of drunk driving crashes (accounting for 39 percent of 506 total traffic fatalities) over Labor Day weekend. This is an increase from the 30 percent of all traffic fatalities that involved a drunk driver in 2005.See the full content of this document
