U stale ffgures aro correct, there are propor-tlonately fewer drunk drlvers on Idaho roads now thanfouryearaago.

Roadsldc suryeya conducted In ihe same locatlons four.'yedrś ago and thls ycar show slgnltlcanl redudion in the percentagc of drunk dmers, The sumys were madę by thc Idaho Alcohol Safety Actlon Project. •

In 1972 about 8.3 .per cent of those drlvers passlng through the chcckpolnts were legally drunk, wllh blood aJcohol Ievels aboyc .08 per cent Ievd: j.. v-

In dOmpartaon, the percentagc óf drunk drivers fell to<.4 per cent In the 1975 surveys.

If Ułose flgurea are rdlablc, It means that there —jnfr [irtmorilono^lu-abouLa, thlrd fewer drunk _ drWeni on tbe road thls year than when the stare^-alcohof project began four years ago.

An even morę dramatlc redudion was recorded ‘ among the heavlest drinkers. In 1972 there were 2.2 per cent of. the sampled drivers who had heavy blood alcohol levels dfT15"pef^ćChrrBy l975'U>e level had fallen to 1.3 per cent.    *

That suggests the percentagc of these^iloppy drunks, the real klllers, had dccllned by about 41 per cent In the four-year period.

There was an Interesting sldellght. Whilc those who drank more than they should fell sharply,

- there was an Increase In the perccntage of drivers who were drinklng llghtly, Those with some alcohol In thelr blood but whose blood aJcohol content was below .06 per cent, a falrly safe level, rosę from 14 per cent ln 1972 to 18 per cent In 1975.

Thls suggests that the total pcrcentage of drinkers was almost the same over the four-year period, but that those drinkers are now drinklng a lot less befóre they get behlnd thc wheel

Thafs real progress. II may have hod as much to do with the dellnlng fatallty rates In Idaho as have the lower speed llmlts

It Ib Interesting to correlate the dcdlning per-centage of drunk drivers with the Increase In ^% arresta of lntoxlcated drivers.

According to the State repert, the number of drunk drivlng airests had doublcd -sińce the beglnnlngof the alcohol safety program.

It ts another Indlcallon that strict law en-forcement pays off ln thc long run. U gives every łeason to cali for cven strlcter enforcemcnt of . dnmk-drlvlnglaws.
