How many times have
you heard that many
accidents and highway
deaths are the result of
driving while in
toxicated? The radio, TV,
and newspapers have
stories each day of tragic
events which took place
as the result of alcohol
abuse. Federally funded
research studies show
that most drivers who get
caught driving drunk
{DUI) have been in the

A luncheon followed the

Meeting was to be in

same condition at least
ten other times while
driving. Highway deaths
studies show that almost
half of all highway deaths
involve alcohol and
driving.
Since so much death
and injury is credited to
drinking drivers, what is
being done to combat the
problem? In Georgia,
drivers who are charged
with driving under the
influence of intoxicants
(DUI) are usually
required to appear in
court where they are
fined, generally around
$200.00 for a first offense
and released. It is
assumed that having to
suffer the em
barrassment of arrest
and appearing in court
coupled with a stiff fine
will insure drivers will
not drink, drive, and be
arrested again.
Generally no attempt is
made to educate the
driver as to how alcohol
affects his judgement,
vision, reaction time and
the functions of his vital
organs. He is not told that
when he drinks alcohol
his judgement is the first
of his faculties to be
impaired. He is not told
how alcohol affects his
vision nor how much
alcohol it takes to become
legally drunk. He may in
fact hold incorrect beliefs
regarding how much
alcohol it takes to affect
his performance as an
auto driver.
Fines and em
barrassment do nothing
to change this. Education
is the only way to im
prove a person's un
derstanding of alcohol
and driving performance.
At present, twenty-seven
communities in Georgia
are providing alcohol
education for persons
convicted of driving while
intoxicated (DUI),
