    Drinking and driving has taken many lives. The people that are drunk lose their lives, but also those innocent people who couldn’t prevent the accident and weren’t drinking. These people can’t prevent these accidents and are killed or injured because of someone else’s carelessness. That’s why we invented the horizontal gaze starter to save more of those lives. Since one of the tests, when someone is pulled over because of suspicious drunk driving, is the horizontal gaze test, why not use it as part of the solution?…

    Each year, thousands of young people tragically lose their lives due to alcohol poisoning and other alcohol related injuries that were unintentional ("The Medical Amnesty Initiative."). In situations where a minor is in need of emergency medical attention, studies show that the worry is more about getting into trouble and receiving a Minor in Possession/Consumption of alcohol (MIP//MIC) ticket, instead of the well being of that person. As a result, lives are put at risk. That is exactly why the medical amnesty policy was put into place, so underage drinkers could put their worries aside and do the right thing. The medical amnesty policy will change the way students and underage drinkers handle an emergency situation.…

    How many times has there been a late night news segment involving a fatal crash, where the person driving under the influence came out alive, yet the innocent involved was either in critical care or died? “In 2014, 9,967 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (31%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States” (CDC). That death count is almost the entire population of Sedona, which is astounding to think that so many people lost their lives over such a stupid and preventable decision. There is no reason to be driving under the influence, especially with the resources that are available to the masses today with Uber and Lyft. It is not only adults who are at risk, though, it is children as well, seeing as how “of the 209 child passengers ages 14 and younger who died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in 2014, over half (116) were riding in the vehicle with the alcohol-impaired driver” (CDC).…
