Why are Wisconsin DUI laws enforced?
Traffic accidents involving alcohol in Wisconsin killed 337 people in 2007. In that same year, they injured in excess of 5,500 more people.
That means that if you lived in Wisconsin in 2007, you stood an approximate 1 in 100 chance of being injured or killed in an alcohol related accident.
Furthermore, 46 percent of all traffic fatalities in Wisconsin are estimated to be alcohol related.
These are big numbers. They are numbers that get attention of Wisconsin lawmakers, prosecutors and judges, not to mention the police officers and other first-responders who see a alcohol related traffic death in Wisconsin nearly every day.
