each year it seems like there are being fewer and fewer fatality from drunk drivers like in 2007 there were 13041 in 2007 and in 2008 it went down about 9.8 percent so even though this number is still really high we are doing a little bit to get this number to go down. cops are putting up stops to check unpeople who drive down certain streets witch is making things better. sense M.A.D.D. has stepd in in 1980 the numbers have gone down over 50 percent.
