NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) claims:
"Despite the tireless efforts of thousands of advocates,
impaired drivers continue to kill someone every 30 minutes, nearly
50 people a day, and almost 18,000 citizens a year. NHTSA and
its partners are working together to put a stop to these deadly
statistics."---NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
radio spot, July, 2003.
"Impaired driving can be defined as a reduction in the performance
of critical driving tasks due to the effects of alcohol or other
drugs. It is a serious crime that kills every 30 minutes."
- NHTSA definition, from the NHTSA web site.
"In 2002, 17,970 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes,
representing approximately 42 percent of the 42,850 total traffic
fatalities."---NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration),
July, 2003
MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) claims:
"Last year, 18,000 people were killed in drunk driving crashes."
-- MADD President, Wendy Hamilton, Reuters article, July, 2003.
RIDL, of course, has reviewed the data and found these statements
to be entirely false. Yet people involved with MADD, NHTSA and
the DOT et al continue to spout off these lies and use them to
further their political goals that are harming millions of innocent
people.
So we say:
Put
up, or shut up!
Show
us the data!
Prove
it!
In a joint effort with getMADD.com
and the National
Motorists Association, RIDL
is offering data verification support for a $20,000 challenge.
The first person who can prove, with verifiable data (data must
include time, date and the state in which the accident occurred)
that 17,970 people were killed by drunk drivers in 2002 will win
$20,000!
