impaired driving!?

Question

i have a project in my class on impaired driving and i was just wondering if anybody had any good sites where I can get a lot of information...preferably Canadian but if its American thats still awesome.
Also, does anybody know what I can actually do for my project? I'm going to have 2 posters, but I was just wondering if you had any interesting ideas because I don't wanna go up there and have it be really boring.

Thanks! Please help~!

Just a suggestion.
Most times people assume impaired driving automaticlly means that the driver is on drugs or alcohol. You could start your presentation with this information but then also include infomration about other ways that peoples driving can be impared. I recently saw a TV show called Myth Busters where they tested the impact of driving while using a cell phone VS driving intoxicated and found out that driving while using a cell phone was as bad as medium levels of intoxication. Other non-drug or alcohol posibilities could be:
Eating while driving.
Reading while driving
Shaving while driving (mainly men)
Doing Makup while driving (mainly women)
Pagers and Blackberrys
Wild Kids in the car
TVs in cars that are within the drivers view
TVs being in the car in front of you but within the drives view.
Physical contact of a pleasurable nature by passenger

So Drugs and Alcohol are the obvious offenders. Cell phones are the next likely offenders but you could includ information and statistics for a number of other activities that could impair a drivers abilities. Maybe you could even find that Myth Busters epesode and clip out just the segment related to the cell phone driving test that they did and present clips to the class.
Best of Luck
