The 2005 Virginia Traffic Crash Facts report shows a decrease in alcohol-related traffic fatalities for the third straight year. Additionally, fatalities and injuries resulting from teen alcohol-related crashes both saw double digit decreases in the past year. The document is the result of cooperative efforts of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the Virginia Department of State Police (VSP), and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
The DMV press release also points out that "(n)ew legislation over the past several years makes Virginia home to some of the toughest DUI laws in the country. Increased DUI checkpoints, higher fines and mandatory jail terms have helped heighten awareness of drunk-driving enforcement in the Commonwealth."
