Make a Difference in This New Year

Renew your resolution in 2012 to tackle the hardcore drunk driver issue in your community.

The holiday season may be over, but the hardcore drunk driver issue is still going strong.

Your court or agency just survived the holidays, which probably felt more like the “hardcore drunk driver season” on your roadways. For most justice professionals, the holidays are the busiest time of the year for protecting your community against hardcore drunk drivers* who:

  • Drive frequently with a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.15 or above; and/or
  • Incur repeat DUI arrests; and/or
  • Are highly resistant to behavioral change despite previous sanctions, treatment or education

  • Almost 400 times more likely to be involved in fatal crashes
