    Extractions: Washington State's new drunk driving laws are some of the toughest enforced anywhere in the United States. The new laws lower the legal blood alcohol limit, increase penalties for driving drunk, and change the way this state treats drunk drivers. This pamphlet describes these new laws which took effect either June 1, 1998 or January 1, 1999. Alcohol Limit: .08: A new Washington law lowers the legal blood alcohol level from .10 to .08. Beginning January 1, 1999, drivers with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) at .08 or above can be arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol. A BAC measures the ratio of alcohol to blood and is measured by a test of a driver's breath or blood. BAC levels are determined by the number of drinks consumed in an hour, a person's body weight, and gender. Females will reach a higher BAC faster than males because females are generally smaller and have higher ratios of body fat to body fluids which makes them about 10 percent more susceptible to the effects of alcohol than males. In general, a 140 pound woman will reach a .08 BAC after three drinks in an hour and a 170 pound man will reach a .08 BAC after four drinks in an hour, (see chart, left). During a two-hour time period a 140 pound woman will exceed a .08 BAC after four drinks and a 170 pound man will reach a .08 BAC after five drinks.

    Extractions: Sobriety checkpoints are a valuable component of a comprehensive enforcement strategy aimed at deterring alcohol-impaired driving. Research shows that the key to effective deterrence is the public's perception of the likelihood of being caught in violation of the law. The public has been shown repeatedly to identify checkpoint activity with increased risk of apprehension. This PDF table lists the citations to common law and statutes relevant to the constitutional and other issues raised by sobriety checkpoints, organized by state. Research bibliographies Passive alcohol sensor annotated bibliography PDF file Passive alcohol sensors, devices that detect the presence of alcohol in the ambient air near a subject, significantly increase the effectiveness of sobriety checkpoints in two ways. First, they allow officers to quickly dismiss drivers who have not been drinking. Second, officers using sensors at checkpoint lanes identify a higher proportion of drivers who have been drinking than they do without sensors. This allows officers to focus their skills and attention on those drivers who should be further investigated at checkpoints and to determine if probable cause for an arrest is present. This PDF is an annotated bibliography of research reports on the reliability of passive alcohol sensors, both laboratory and field studies.

    http://www.vh.org/adult/patient/internalmedicine/aba30/1999/autosafety.html
    
    Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Driving safety concerns us all especially the elderly. So much has been achieved, yet there is much to be done. Motor-vehicle related deaths have been reduced from 18 per million vehicle miles traveled in 1925 to 2 per million in 1997. In this period vehicle miles traveled have increased from one billion to 2,500 billion. The motorization of America means that six times as many people travel today as in 1925, vehicles have increased eleven fold and miles traveled ten fold. In 1966 following 5 years of increasing car fatalities a prevention program was instituted by the National Highway Safety Administration by the Highway Safety Act. Dr. William Hadden proposed studying the situation like an epidemic infection might be studied as public health problem. This meant studying interactions before, during and after crashes, considering the host (or driver and pedestrian) the infectious agent (or motor vehicle) and environmental factors (or the highway). Many changes in driver education, vehicle and highway design have resulted. Cars are now built with head rests, energy absorbing steering wheels, shatter resistant windshields and safety belts.

Williams, December 2001. An IIHS publication in PDF format only. Most studies of motor vehicle crashes involving young people focus on drivers. However, much of the problem involves young people traveling as passengers. This report summarizes the current state of knowledge concerning teenage passengers and motor vehicle crashes. Topics covered are the contribution of teenage passengers to the overall problem, the heightened risk when teenage passengers are transported by teenage drivers, characteristics of crashes involving teenage drivers and passengers, and the effects of passenger restrictions in graduated licensing systems.

    http://www.ncsl.org/statefed/TEA21ib.htm
    
    Extractions: Cell Phones and Driving Updated February 25, 2002 Background: The Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century (TEA-21) authorizes increased highway funding, highway safety, mass transit and other surface transportation programs through FY 2004. The legislation was signed into law in June of 1998. TEA-21 authorizes a program total of $216 billion, including $173 billion in highway funding and $41 billion for mass transit. The Act also authorizes approximately $2.3 billion for highway safety grant programs for FY 1998 - FY 2003. Of the total $173 billion in highway funding, the new firewalls set Highway Trust Fund (HTF) guarantees at a minimum of $167 billion. In October 2000 , TEA-21 was amended. The law currently still provides incentive grants for states that adopt provisions that set the drunk driving standard at .08 blood alcohol content (BAC). However, a law was enacted that mandates states adopt a .08 BAC law and by 2004 and sanctions states that fail to do so by withholding highway trust funds. TEA-21 also prohibits a passenger or a driver to consume alcohol or have an open container and sets strict standards for repeat drunk driving offenders. States that do not adopt similar laws, face redirection of a portion of their highway funds to be used to improve highway safety. Federal mandates do not end there however, as some members of Congress are interested in mandating state adoption of child safety belt laws and requiring stricter primary enforcement seatbelt laws, as well.
