Montana has done little to reduce drunk driving starting on the first offense since the enactment of a .08 BAC per se law in 2003.
The danger is real – and it can wreak life-changing devastation anytime, anywhere, in the blink of an eye.The destruction ripples out, impacting two out of three people in their life time.
WAYS FOR MONTANA TO IMPROVE
- Pass an all-offender ignition interlock law with compliance-based removal.
- Legalize sobriety checkpoints and ensure they are conducted at least monthly.
- Enact adiministrative license revocation.
- Expedite warrants for refusing an alcohol test and require ignition interlocks or criminalize refusals.
