Arrests for DUI in Georgia Way Down

Drunk driving arrests and alcohol related accidents much lower over holiday.

The Georgia State Patrol is reporting much fewer incidents of drunk driving and accidents across the state during the New Year’s holiday. No one died during the New Year’s festivities, and arrests for driving under the influence in Georgia were down 25% from last year. The total number of vehicle accidents was nearly halved, making it one of the safest holidays in memory.

State troopers attribute the reduction to a weakened economy, the fact that the holiday fell in the middle of the week and the impact of safe driving and anti-Georgia DUI messages.
