driving is no accident – nor is it a victimless crime. Much of the tragedy

that

comes from impaired driving crashes could be prevented if everyone would take

few simple

precautions.

Whether

Impaired driving is one of America’s most often committed and deadliest crimes.

If you

have had way too many or just one too many, it’s not worth the risk

of

injuring yourself or others. If there is alcohol in someone’s system they are under the influence.

Many people feel that messages are to be targeted at overtly drunk drivers, and not them. When decision time

comes,

they would consider themselves merely "buzzed" and

then get

behind the wheel

.

The

experts of the

“Buzzed Driving

is

Drunk Driving”

campaign had stated that people who say they are buzzed feel that it is better compared to them saying they are drunk which is often viewed as being clearly “out of control” or “obviously impaired”.

The

definition of a buzzed driver is one who drinks and drives but does not consider

them self

a danger on the roads because only a few drinks were consumed. Because of this, organizations from all over

America are joining

together to put a strong new push to remind individuals that buzzed driving is drunk driving.

According

to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 1,201 people across America just during the month of December were killed in highway crashes involving a drive or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol level of .01 or higher. Of these crashes 1,033 involved a driver with the blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. Slide5

My Personal StoriesSlide6

How

to

Prevent Impaired Driving

*Whenever you plan on consuming alcohol-- PLAN AHEAD

Assign a designated

driver before you decide to go

out.

If you’re intoxicated call

a

taxi, or any sober friend

or family member to get you home safely.

Plan to spend

the night where you were drinking, it will help you and other individuals on the

road.

Promptly report drunk drivers you see on the roadways to law enforcement.

If

you know someone

who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get where they are going safely.Slide7

Important Facts & Information

According to the

Drunk Driving Prevention Program, drunk

driving is the nation’s most frequently committed violent

crime.

An

estimated 24 young Americans a day

will die

in alcohol related traffic

crashes.

One

person every 32 minutes dies in America, in a drunk driving

accident.

About

2 in 5 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at sometime in their life. Slide8

Consequences of Impaired Driving

Consequences

are very serious and real.

Not

only can you kill yourself, but you can kill or harm others

in your car or on the road as

well.

The

trauma and financial costs of a crash, arrest or a fine is not worth risking

.

People can face jail time, loss of license,

their insurance

can also sky rocket.

There

can also be encounters of humiliation of others, family or even friends. Slide9

Conclusion

Now that

I have

discussed

why buzzed

driving is drunk driving, how to prevent impaired driving, and the consequences of impaired driving I hope I have persuaded you not to drink and drive and I would like to leave you with

two

interesting

facts

from the Drunk Driving

Prevention Program.

Drunk or impaired driving killed nearly 13,000 people in 2007 and since the late 1990’s alcohol-related driving deaths have been steadily increasing.

Drunk or impaired driving killed nearly 13,000 people in 2007. That's one person every 40 minutes. That makes it everyone's problem
