In today's world, there will always bee road accidents.  But, there are things we could do to make sure that they will not happen.  One thing we can do for instance is not to drive drunk.

Stopping drivers from driving drunk is the foremost goal of MADD or Mothers Against Drunk Driving.  And recently, they have scored a good point against drunk driving after a resolution to install alcohol ignition locks on vehicles of persons who have been apprehended driving while under the influence of alcohol, has been approved by Virginia's state Senate.

Glynn Birch, national president of MADD had this to say according to The Auto Channel:  "Our vision of eliminating drunk driving can become a reality.  The first step is implementing proven solutions that currently exist to prevent deaths and injuries due to drunk driving. One solution is alcohol ignition interlocks, which could not only save thousands of lives, but also gives offenders the ability to drive without endangering the public."

Virginia Del. Sal Iaquinto added that:  "The only way to ensure that convicted drunk drivers stop harming people is to make sure that they do not drink and drive again.  This bill does that -- and will make the Commonwealth's roadways safer for all Virginia families."

This bill though will not completely eliminate the number of accidents caused by drunk driving.  But at least this will cut down the number of drivers driving while drunk.

Chuck Harley, CEO of MADD said that they will now be putting these interlocks into action.  "We know that the technology works.  Now we need to implement these advances on our roads, every day in every state across the nation. Too many drunk driving offenders are back on the road, and it is our duty to ensure that they do not risk the lives of others and that they only drive while sober."
