Answer 2

1. GET THE FACTS DRINKING AND DRIVING KILLS:
Even if you never drink and drive, alcohol impaired driving is still your problem-because you share the road with others.

2. DECIDE FOR YOURSELF:
It is important that each of us makes a rational decision about drinking and driving. The law protects under 18s from alcohol ,as it is actually a potential killer drug.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND blood alcohol levels and how and why they affect a drivers competence? Even the average social drinker may sometimes drink himself or herself into trouble. One drink leads to another ,so decide not to mix driving with alcohol.

3. BE A RESPONSIBLE HOST:
Never send your friends out onto the road at the end of a party, after drinking alcohol. Plan to have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks available. Have plenty of food. Plan who is going to drive home-someone who will not drink alcohol, nor take drugs. Arrange to call a taxi, organize a car pool.

4. FIGHT FOR TOUGHER LAWS AND REAL PUNISHMENTS SPEAK OUT:
Many YAERD members have experienced a severe sense of injustice from the United States legal system heaped upon their grief and physical suffering. We have repeatedly called for:

A: Stronger enforcement of existing laws
B: Maximum use of existing penalties
C: Tougher overall drink/drive laws.

Urge the authorities to enforce existing traffic laws more strictly and to deter drivers from committing road crimes. The camera for speeding and red-light running will be a conspicuous deterrent. Help to keep our roads safer-write to MPs and the media, sign petitions-SPEAK OUT.

5. REPORT A BAD DRIVER:
If a persistently drunk, or disqualified driver, cannot stop him/herself driving then it is time for the public to act. Inform local law enforcement when you see a possible drunk driver-or a dangerous or disqualified driver-at the wheel. It will be too late after he/she has killed or been killed. Victims families live with the knowledge that had there been no criminal driving there would have been no death.

7. FOR YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, and YOUR NEIGHBOURS SET AN EXAMPLE:
Persuade people that drink-driving is Socially Unacceptable. Actions speak louder than words. Your behavior will clearly support your outrage at this preventable homicide on our roads. Never drive after drinking alcohol or taking drugs.

8. BE A TRUE FRIEND:
Most problem drinkers and drug-takers deny their problems, their fear, their anger, their guilt; and they deny that their impaired driving is a criminal act. If you really want to help when you see your friend has been drinking and wants to drive, say NO! When your mind tells you that your friend is capable of blatantly killing other road users, Say SO! If you're convinced that he or she needs help- Say So Now!

Answer 3

Breathalyzers that detect exhaled metabolized alcohol at low levels installed on the steering wheel. If the systems detects any, it shuts off. Probably a pipe-dream.
