AMERICANS MADD-ER ABOUT DRUNKEN DRIVING

Americans increasingly support stronger penalties for people who drink and drive, according to a Gallup survey.

And more Americans say they are selecting a designated driver when they plan to drink, according to the survey released by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

The share of all highway deaths caused by impaired drivers was a record low 44 percent last year, according to the Transportation Department. But impaired drivers still accounted for 17,500 deaths.
