I LStatement of the Problem
1. Alcohol is a major contributing factor in a significant percentage of fatal
and most severe personal injury accidents in Oakland County.
2. The present level of enforcement against drunk driving is ineffective in
• ,etering these offenses.
,
3. A basic reason underlying the two aforementioned conditions is the present
low level of public and official concern about the magnitude of human and
economic losses incurred through traffic accidents in Oakland County.
Magnitude of Alcohol and Traffic Accident Problem in Oakland County
... In 1979, 164 persons were killed in fatal traffic accidents. OF these -
deaths, 84 were albol related---over 52 percent.
,
... Estimates based on severity ratios of previous years indicate that
approximately 4,500 persons Were injured-in alcohol related accidents
in 1979 — a high percentage of which will be in the 'incapacitating'
catagory. .

11. Statement of the Problem (continued)
... It is conservatively estimated, that alcohol related accidentS -- - --
in Oakland County in 1979 cost over $ 55 million.
... Young drivers in Oakland County (state's highest per capita income)
show a high overinvolvement in alcohol related traffic crashes. _
Of the 72 drivers who had 1-en drinking in fatal accidents in the
county in 1979 ) nearly 58 'percent were age 25 or younger. Drivers
th-is-age--grou-pcount. for about 25- per.cent_of_the_total_driviag_ .. _
population.
Need for Increase in Quality and Quantity of Alcohol Enforcement
There is gene agreement among Oakland County 'authorities that levels of
performance within each separate part of the enforcement process are so mini-al
that they do little by way of discouraging driving while knowingly under the
influence.
TIA estimates th'at there are approximately 2,500 drinking driving
• offenses committed• for every driver arrested for such violations.
... There is a profound lack of uniformity in the level of arrests
from counity to community in the county..
... Over 70 percent of the breath tests administered resulted in a
SAL of 0.15 and Over, indicating that enforcement is generally
directed to t h e most flagrant of drinking driver violators and
that greater Lnforcement action needs to be taken against those
. drivers in the 0.10 to 14 SAL range,
Knowledge of local enfc7 _ement practices suggests that there is
virtually•no application of the selective- enforcement concept to .
the drinking driver problem.
• In many communities, low arrest rates are often the indirect
result of a high rate of drunk driving charge dismissals,
excessive plea bargaining or poor case preparation.
... Taken collectively, judges in Oakland County_ refer relatively
few drinking driver violators to special alcohol education courses
or other rehabilitation programs.
•
jack of Public and Official Awareness,'Knowledcre and Concern - _
l'!ost traffic authorities agree that the view which the general public holds today
with respect to traffic safety is best characterized by the terms "Apathy" 3nd
"indifference". It is axiomatic that public officials are responsive to thoir
constLns. This lick of constituent concern is reflected in the 171L: a
