Caution Ahead: New Year’s Ranks as Deadliest Day on U.S. Roads
Date:12/26/2012

To prevent these dangers, nearly eight in 10 Americans support requiring ignition interlocks for all convicted DUI offenders, even if it’s their first conviction.

Research has identified ignition interlock devices (IIDs) as a proven way to save lives.
