WHEREAS • •
Traffic crashes involving alcohol caused approximately 23,500
deaths in the United States in 1984;
Traffic crashes also play a substantial role in serious injuries,
causing most of the new cases of epilepsy and paraplegia in the
United States each year;
Between 45 and 55 percent of fatally injured drivers have alcohol
concentrations in their blood above the legal limit, and this fig-
ure rises to 55 to 65 percent in single-vehicle crashes;
In Idaho in 1984, 73 persons died in alcohol related accidents.
Costs of alcohol related accidents in Idaho were at least 28 mil-
lion dollars;
There are increasing reports of collisions involving drivers who
have used prescription or illegal drugs;
There has been a groundswell of national and local activity aimed
at these problems through citizens' groups, task forces, and the
Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving, and Idaho's new DUI Law;
Increased public knowledge about the gravity of the problem of
drunk and drugged driving may convince alcohol and drug users to
refrain from driving, and may stimulate interest in research about
effects of drugs on driving ability and the incidence of traffic
crashes;
National awareness of the problems of drunk and durgged driving may
help to sustain current efforts to develop comprehensive solutions
at the State and local levels; and
The Christmas and New Year's holiday period is a particularly ap-
propriate time to focus national attention on this critical prob-
lem, because more drivers are on the roads, more social functions
are attended, and more traffic collisions occur.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is
_ ,
~_
RESOLVED, that _fis!_L~G~~'"J joins with
the United States' Congress t President of the United States,
legislatures, city and tow councils, governors, mayors, and other
citizens across the Nation, in designating the week of December 15
- 21, 1985 as "National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness ~Veek"
in supporting national and local observances thereof, and in
reminding our fellow citizens that safety belts and child safety
seats are our best defense against all the hazards of the road.
SIGNED at ~~~~,c.~,~ _ this J~v day of December, 1985.
