Welcome back ... now here are some stories you may have missed over the last month or so

Welcome back!

Oh wait, I guess it was me that was gone. Sorry for that. I won't go into the sordid details of my absence (OK, more boring than sordid, really). Despite being gone, I have been keeping up with what's going on and have a folder full of stories that I've been meaning to write about but never did. I don't have time to write about most of them so I will just give you links to a crap-load of stories and you can pick and choose which you'd like to read more about just in case there are some you may have missed.

    Randy Travis is I guess one that AAA is talking about here: A new study by AAA reveals that nine out of ten drivers consider drinking and driving a threat to their own safety on the road and a whopping 97 percent find drinking and driving an unacceptable practice. Eight in ten drivers go as far to say that they would support legislation requiring ignition interlocks for all those who are convicted of drinking and driving, including first-time offenders. http://zautos.com/dui-fast-facts/

    “Evidence clearly shows that IIDs are more effective than other methods at reducing re-arrest among convicted drunk drivers and keeping them off the road,” AAA President and CEO Robert Darblenet said in a statement.
