The facts about drunk driving in Maryland
The non-profit organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that in 2014, 141 people were killed in Maryland as a result of drunk driving – about 30% of all traffic fatalities that year. Just the 2015 Labor Day weekend saw 126 DUI arrests by the Maryland State Police. Last year, drunk driving accidents and arrests cost taxpayers $747 million. To combat the problem, our State legislature passed a law which requires an ignition interlock system for all offenders who had a child in the car at the time of their arrest, but MADD is pushing for even more stringent laws.
