South Carolina Leads the Nation in Drunk Driving Fatalities
Traffic deaths are down in the Palmetto State, but a key indicator tied to a preventable behavioral factor is sill holding it back…

Oh goodness, another number one ranking to add to the recent number one in measles. But can you really expect a people who care so little for their own safety and that of their fellow citizens to refuse a measles vaccination to not exhibit the same benighted thinking regarding drinking and driving?
Where ya from, boy: Ohio?
Over 75% of your state of sc, residents are not true natives. Recent transplants not even from SC. Many drive to work each morning with alchohol and illegal drugs in their system.
Anonymous, is this supposed to make sense: “Recent transplants not even from SC.”? (If they are transplants, by definition they obviously are not from S.C.) And check your figures, 48% of SC residents are not true natives, not 75%. And where did you come up with the fact that “many” of these “drive to work with alcohol and illegal drugs in their system”?
I don’t drink and drive. I rarely drink, but when I do, I do it at home and when I know I don’t have to be out and about for a few hours. That said, I am getting tired of MADD dictating our laws regarding DUI in this state. MADD has had scandals involving its own upper echelon at national conventions, driving while plastered, in bygone years. Cops in Tennessee who were later found to have made DUI arrests on people who were sober, were recipients of MADD “Good Cop” awards for the most DUI cases in their area. Is anyone else getting tired of MADD and their constant bitching and whining as they vye for a piece of that DUI Industry pie. I wish MADD would GTFO of our Legislature and our state. They have outlived any usefulness they might ever have had.
I don’t think they were mentioned in this article, but they have recently pushed for more legislation in SC which like other crap, such as .08% BAC, will change nothing.
I’ll drink to that.
