Well, as many have made a point of license suspensions simply do not work. A conservative estimate from MADD is that 75% of people under a license suspension continue to drive. MADD offers up a solution to this problem. They encourage states to lower the suspension times if an offender installs ignition interlock. This would allow someone to keep their job, contribute to their communities, attend treatment, and get their families where they need to go.
While statistics show that many continue to drive while on suspended occasionally we see the proof. In Kansas City police during a patrol spotted a station wagon going the wrong direction on a one way street. When they pulled him over the found that he had a suspend license. While this type of violation is not out of the ordinary, this was a special case. Mr. Jones had been driving on suspend driver’s license since his DUI in 1989. He had avoided the law for 21.

Although 2008 had the lowest number of fatalities for Kansas since they started keeping track of that statistic, this year the number increase sharply The Wichita Eagle reports. This number may entice the legislature to act earlier than the 2011 DUI Commission anticipates. MADD’s Chuck Hurley made a statement about how he thinks we can get the number back down. “Chuck Hurley, the chief executive officer of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, also noted that improvements were made in states such as New Mexico and Arizona, which have adopted tough laws using breath-monitoring ignition interlock devices for offenders.” Although the commission has all agreed that adopting a first time offender ignition interlock policy is the right direction their plan is to not move forward with a bill until 2011.

50 year old Reno Nevada man has been arrested for 3 DUI’s in a seventeen day period. It would be interesting to know if this man was driving the same vehicle in all three traffic stops. Another case where getting an ignition interlock device on the vehicle as soon as possible can prevent future attempts to drive drunk. Ignition interlocks prevent any vehicle they are installed on from starting until the driver provides a breath sample below a preset limit.

A collaboration of some of the best minds and perspectives in the state of Kansas has come together with one common goal. To pass a DUI bill that simplifies the process and achieves better results. With this many perspectives it is one common feeling that no matter where the DUI law is heading, it can not be worse that it has been. The commission has the task of reworking the entire law to make it more efficient at every aspect from arrest to post sentence and treatment. The commission has people from every field along the way to give it unique perspective and hopefully not miss any important parts to the process. Chairman Owens has obviously put some great care into getting the right people in this room and we applaud him on his efforts. In the end everyone hopes to accomplish one goal and that is to save lives by eliminating drinking from driving.

A professor at Duke has been studying the effectiveness of ignition interlocks. Below is an except from a story about this study.
“Duke professor Philip Cook and a collaborator write in the New York Times that while ignition-interlock devices for preventing drunk driving are ”highly effective,” they are rarely installed in the cars of people who have been known to drive while intoxicated. Cook and Maeve E. Gearing write, “People driving while intoxicated still cause about 13,000 deaths a year in the United States. And of the 1.4 million arrests made, one-third involve repeat offenders. The greatest potential of ignition interlocks is to reduce this recidivism.”
They continue, “Eight states now mandate that interlocks be installed in the cars of all drunk-driving offenders, and another 25 require them for repeat offenders or those whose blood-alcohol content was far higher than the legal limit. Still other states give judges the option to order interlock installation. But implementation of these measures has lagged. Judges often fail to order installation, even when the law requires it. Offenders routinely ignore orders to get interlocks. And in areas where the installation is voluntary, few offenders install them. In 2007, only about 146,000 interlocks were in use…The ignition interlock could be an extraordinarily effective way to prevent drunk-driving recidivism. But it can save lives only if we make sure people use it.”
Another reason to get ignition interlock devices on the vehicles of those who have proved to need them. Interlocks are only effective when on the vehicles of previous offenders.

Anheuser-Busch InBev has come out with their new “Fan Cans”. As many of you could guess this is not receiving a popular reception. These new “Fan Cans” are going to sport the colors of many popular college sports teams. Since the majority of college students are not above the legal drinking age many will agree that this is an unwise marketing scheme.
These Crimson and Blue cans are on the shelves of the liquor stores in Lawrence Kansas as I write this post. To read the entire article and see the thoughts that the University of Kansas has on the topic follow the link below.
