Americans strongly support public policies to reduce highway deaths, including some measures that many elected officials consider too restrictive, such as alcohol ignition interlocks and traffic enforcement cameras, a new national survey finds.

The Center for Excellence in Rural Safety at the University of Minnesota found that most Americans support ignition interlocks for those convicted of drunken driving and automated speed enforcement using cameras and radar. Respondents also support sobriety checkpoints, mandatory motorcycle helmet laws, phased-in privileges for new drivers and laws enabling police to ticket drivers solely for not wearing seat belts. . . .

If you or a loved one have been injured due to a negligent motorist, call the Keating, O’Gara Law Firm at 888/234-0621 for a free initial consultation.
