A recent report by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) showed that only 61% of drunk drivers are convicted of their charges. The information in this report was collected from September 1, 2017 to September 1, 2018. The conviction rate is down 7 percent from the previous year.
MADD has staff and volunteers that regularly monitor judicial proceedings relating to drunk driving cases. Currently the program covers 12 states throughout the country, but that number is increasing to create a more accurate portrayal of the country’s data. The goal of this monitoring is to ensure drunk driving laws are being enforced and prosecuted. Those involved document information regarding each case, and find trends and weaknesses to report to prosecutors and judges. MADD’s goal is to send a message that driving drunk will not be tolerated.
Drunk driving is the #1 cause of fatal automobile accidents in Florida. In 2016-2017, there were almost 11,000 fatalities due alcohol-impaired drivers. Throughout the country, the average cost of a first-time DUI is around $10,000, but that does not deter people from getting behind the wheel and driving under the influence.

Road Rage and Aggressive Driving Lead to Senseless Injuries Not too long ago, I wrote an article on aggressive driving and road rage. However, it is in the news again and I felt compelled to comment on that situation.[1] The recent road rage incident did not occur in Florida, but in Las Vegas, Nevada. According […]
Getting into an accident as a pedestrian can be terrifying and serious. Unlike car accidents, pedestrians have nothing to protect them, not even a helmet like a motorcyclist or bicyclist would have. Because of that, pedestrian accidents often result in serious injuries and even death. In 2022, 7,508 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents in […]
The injuries sustained in an auto or motorcycle accident may not always be apparent at the accident scene or even hours later in the hospital. Obviously, broken bones and lacerations will be immediately noticed and treated. However, there are some fairly common injuries that occur as a result of accidents which can be unknown and […]
Some Police Departments Have Blamed Increased Speed on Waze Several police departments and national police associations have recently blamed the popular Google App Waze for encouraging drivers to speed and making the roads more dangerous for all.[1] First, Waze is a GPS Mapping/Social Media application that will allow those that are using the application to […]
Anyone who has slipped and regained their footing knows the sense of relief that comes with narrowly escaping a fall. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of times we can’t brace ourselves fast enough, and the consequences can be much more serious than a little shock or embarrassment. Slip and Fall Statistics Twenty percent of falls […]
