DOT’s annual drunk driving campaign comes with ignition interlock info
800+ people killed in crashes in 2012 holiday season
Just in time for the holidays, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has kicked off its annual "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" winter crackdown on drunk and drugged driving. This year’s campaign comes with a technology theme: a "Model Guideline for State Ignition Interlock Programs" that will help states develop and implement a breath alcohol ignition interlock program.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said the program would help states enforce safe driving among convicted offenders.
