There are numbers to support that drunk driving results in a DRAMATIC increase in accidents. I'm sorry, I just don't see the same with the numbers here.
I keep hearing about how reckless, and how stupid their approach was. But when I dive into any and all of the data I can find there's nothing there to really support this argument.
In just looking at the numbers vs. Ohio, where we've taken I'd say a more agressive approach, we (Ohio) actually have slightly more deaths per capita. This in a state that sees a fraction of a fraction of the amount of the amount of travel, and with a younger population.
When I look at California, or Illinois, or any number of states, nothing is really jumping out to me in comparison to Florida that shows that they clearly shit the bed here.
