posted 23 Nov 2008
No matter how many advertisements and campaigns have been done by
various individuals, groups, or organizations to increase the awareness
of the public on driving while drunk, people still tend to get behind
the wheel of a vehicle despite the fact that they are already
intoxicated. In fact, drunk driving has been one of the major causes of
vehicle mishaps, accidents, crashes, and collisions that have resulted
to deaths and injuries of drivers and pedestrians alike.

At present, there has been a new kind of technology that has been
presented to the public. It is an anti-drunk driving technology and has
been foreseen to become a major factor to help out reduce the high
number of deaths and injuries caused by the results drunk driving.
“A Nation Without Drunk Driving.” This is a symposium that will be
sponsored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, or known as MADD as part of
the International DUI (meaning Driving Under the Influence) Technology
Symposium that would be held on the 19th and the 20th of this month in
Albuquerque, Canada. During this symposium, the latest innovations to
help out lessen the number of drunk drivers would be showcased. The list
would include alcohol-detecting sensors and anklet devices. These
actually test the alcohol levels in the skin so much so that the
ignition on their vehicles would lock up in case they do detect that a
driver is drunk.

All these innovations and technologies would be
presented by researchers, law enforcement officers, and
criminal justice people.
According to Paul Marques, Ph. D., “We have technological solutions that
can very likely save lives – it is time we started fully using them.
Most states and communities could employ this technology right away and
see immediate benefits in reducing impaired driving. But they are not
doing it.” Marque is a senior research scientist with PIRE Public
Services Research Institute.
