New government data compiled from states illustrate an alarming trend: nationally, an estimated two million three-time or more and 400,000 five-time or more drunk driving offenders are sharing our roadways at any given time.

Jim Whelan (D-Northfield) at a news conference in support of lifesaving legislation, Senate bill 1926, which would require all convicted drunk drivers, including those convicted for the first time, to install alcohol ignition interlocks on their vehicles.
MADD and Rep. Paul Clymer (R-Bucks County) held a news conference in support of lifesaving legislation that can reduce the number of drunk driving deaths on Pennsylvania's roadways. H.B. 2019 will require alcohol ignition interlocks for any convicted drunk driver in the state of Pennsylvania.
 As state highway safety and law enforcement agencies across the nation conduct a major drunk driving crackdown in the weeks surrounding the Labor Day holiday, their efforts are being highlighted with a massive advertising blitz. The message is clear: if you drive drunk you will be arrested and prosecuted.
