Have you heard of MADD – Mothers Against Drunk Driving? During the first few years of MADD’s existence, drunk driving deaths went down. But in the 90s, deaths were on the rise again. And it’s just gone up since then. One in three traffic-related deaths is attributed to alcohol these days. That’s a very sad statistic. But it’s the way things are. And MADD is at it again to stop this number from going up. The organization is now trying to enact laws in each state that will require DUI offenders to blow into a tube before they are allowed to drive. It’s called an ignition-interlock test, and the group tested it first in New Mexico. In a year, the number of deaths decreased by 11 percent because of the test. And, the good news is that technology is very affordable. Something needs to be done because driving is not a right – it’s a privilege.
