- DRUNK DRIVING
Each year, there are nearly 40,000 Americans killed in motor vehicle-related accidents. In 2019, alcohol was a factor in 10,511 of these fatalities. On average, one in every three Americans will be involved in a drunk-driving accident in their lifetime. About 1.5 million drivers were arrested in 2011 for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. However, is estimated that during that year, adults got behind the wheel of a car at least 112 million times after drinking too much. The incidence of drunk driving is highest in the 20 to 25 year-old age group (25%), and about one-third of all drivers arrested for drunk driving are repeat offenders. Surveys found that on average, convicted drunk drivers have driven under the influence 80 times before their first arrest. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and automobile manufacturers have recently developed alcohol detection devices that can be installed in vehicles to prevent drunk driving. It is estimated this technology could save 59,000 lives and $343 billion over a 15-year period.

- I oppose reforming current drunk driver policy wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA).
- I support implementing federal motor vehicle safety standards that prevent operation of a motor vehicle when the operator is under the influence of alcohol by: 1.) Preventing the operation of a motor vehicle if the operator's blood alcohol content is above the legal limit. 2.) Requiring the technology to be reliable and accurate and easily maintained. 3.) Requiring the installation of an ignition interlock device for a minimum of 180 days on each motor vehicle operated by an individual convicted of driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence. 4.) Withholding 5% a state's apportionment of federal-aid highway funds each year if the state has not enacted and is not enforcing certain laws to prevent repeated drunk driving. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Kathleen Rice (NY) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
