  1. Preventing Drunk Driving By: Deanna Hafenscher & Meagan Werner
  2. What is the Problem? Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. Unfortunately, people still decide to drive drunk, which causes many peoples lives to be taken away. People don’t realize how dangerous drunk driving is.
  3. Statistics One in three will be involved in an alcohol-related crash in their lifetime. 50 to 75% of convicted drunk drivers continue to drive on a suspended license. This year, 10,839 people will die in drunk-driving crashes - one every 50 minutes. Every minute, one person is injured from an alcohol-related crash.
  4. Jeffrey C. Still A 28-year-old Yorkville man died Tuesday morning, February 25, 1997,of injuries suffered in a car crash the night before. The driver of the other car, recuperating at a hospital, was charged with drunken driving.
  5. Jeffrey C. Still Jeffrey C. Still died at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood after being flown there from Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, police said. The other driver, Mary Ann Fornek, 27, of the 5500 block of East Lake Drive in Lisle, was listed in fair condition at Rush-Copley. Fornek faces charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and not having vehicle insurance, police said. A report stated that her blood-alcohol level following the accident was 0.25 percent, or 2 1/2 times the state legal limit.

  7. What is the Solution? Sen Lautenberg's Drunk Driving Repeat Offender Prevention Act of 2011 This act requires the installation of an ignition interlock device for a minimum of 180 days on each motor vehicle operated by an individual convicted of driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence. Lautenberg has fought to reduce drunk driving and underage drinking through a series of legislative victories. Senator Lautenberg wrote the law that lowered the legal blood alcohol limit to .08 in all 50 states. He also authored the law that established a national legal drinking age of 21, which has helped save thousands of lives across the country. We need to save more!
  8. Ignition Interlock Device Some DUI offenders get this device after their first offense or second, sometimes third. Their shouldn’t be a second or third “chance” We want, not only in the state of Illinois, but the United States to change that to after the first offense. No chances. If they give a person that has a DUI a chance, that might damage someone's life.
