What’s the Problem? - Drunk driving kills over 10,000 people in the United States every year (CDC,
2019). - In 2016, there were over a million arrests for driving under the influence
(CDC, 2019). - 24-29 year olds make up 20.7% of drunk driving cases (BOTS, 2020). - Anyone who travels by automobile is at risk of being affected by drunk driving.
The Solution? - Mandatory breathalyzers in all cars will decrease the amount of drunk driving
cases. - The cost of the average car breathalyzer is:
- $70 - $150 for installation (IntoxaLock, n.d.) - $60 - $90 for the equipment (IntoxaLock, n.d.) - *These fees will be irrelevant if a breathalyzer is already installed in the vehicle
- Good drivers will be able to get a discount with their insurance companies for having this device installed in their car.
