For a few years now, New Mexico has
had a decrease in the amount of fatalities caused by drunk driving. Now that
trend is at risk, says representative of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
This year, there could be a
significant increase in drunk driving fatalities. Ben Lewinger has been
tracking yearly statistics and specifies how numbers have risen to at least 104
fatal wrecks to this day. From Thanksgiving to New Year is the peak time of the
year where DWI crimes happen.
One of the best tools implemented
to prevent drunk driving are sobriety checkpoints and an increase in police on
roads. MADD expects to see aa many checkpoints on roads as possible.
Up until 2006, New Mexico had a bad
reputation for being one of the states with the worst drunk-driving fatalities
of the nation.
