We’re used to hearing about drunk driving accidents. But we’re not as familiar with morning drunk driving. Most of us expect people to be sober by the time we’re back on the roads in the AM.

13 years ago, states were encouraged to set their legal blood-alcohol limits to .08, or they would risk losing a substantial amount of their federal highway funds. Now, with drunk driving making up one-third of all traffic-related deaths, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is asking that the legal blood-alcohol limit be lowered to .05. […]
No parent wants to wake up to a phone call in the middle of the night. Often those calls mean bad news. And with teenagers exhibiting dangerous behaviors now more than ever out on the road, more parents may be getting those horrific calls. It was reported by the Institute for Highway Safety that 11 […]
