MANY DRUNKS HAVE
LICENSES TO DRIVE
X 1 '
□
Fewer than 4% of all drivers
on the road are heavy drinkers.
Yet heavy drinkers are in
volved in nearly 50% of all
traffic deaths.
The frightening truth is that
drunks are the deadliest drivers
ever let loose on the highways.
Knowing that, you might
think our licensing officials
•would take extraordinary
measures to hunt down this
small gang of killers and get
them off the road, saving
25,000 lives a year.
It’s not happening. The way
things are now, there’s no ef
fective way to take a drunk’s
license away before he kills
somebody.
With 25,000 lives at stake,
safety experts at the Continen
tal Insurance Companies point
out, there must be a better
answer than that.
Maybe it’s a thorough physi
cal examination. A doctor
must certify that every new
driving-license applicant is not
an alcoholic.
Maybe there’s a better way,
but certainly what Pennsyl
vania does is better than
nothing.
And nothing is what all but
a handful of states actually do.
This is one reason why
safety groups ask that we write
to our local legislators and urge
that they get drunken potential
killers off the road.
