New Data Show Drinking Age Laws Saved 4441 Lives Over 5 Years
On November 6, 2008, NHTSA announced the publication of a new report that estimated that Minimum Legal Drinking Age 21 Laws prevented an estimated 4441 impaired driving deaths in the last five years alone.
NHTSA Acting Administrator David Kelly, who presented the report at a symposium on the subject led by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) said "Turning our back on these laws would be a deadly mistake. Minimum drinking age laws are among the most effective measures ever used to reduce drunken driving deaths among America's young people."
