Super Bowl Sunday witnessed 46 drunk driving deaths in 2016 and 42 deaths in 2015. On News Year&#8217;s Eve 2016, 33 people died. In 2015 on the same holiday, 29 people died.<\/p>\n<p>Then, we had some dramatic, devastating jumps. Drunk driving deaths on St. Patrick&#8217;s Day increased to 48 from 22. The Fourth of July also saw a spike, increasing to 188 from 146.<\/p>\n<p>Not all holidays increased. For Halloween 2016, 84 people died compared to 122 deaths in 2015. However, in 2015 the holiday fell on a Saturday whereas it occurred on a Monday for 2016.\u00a0New YeaNHTSAholidayblogr&#8217;s Day dropped to 40 from 61.

The newly released NHTSA data shows a continued decline in states with ignition interlock laws. Thirty states and the District of Columbia have passed ignition interlock laws for all drunk driving offenders. MADD calls on every state to pass all-offender ignition interlock laws. We also need to improve existing laws to ensure all offenders use an ignition interlock as soon as possible after a drunk driving offense.<\/p>\n<p>MADD also encourages every law enforcement agency to participate in NHTSA\u2019s upcoming Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign to increase enforcement in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile vehicle safety is improving, 94 percent of all traffic deaths are caused by human error,\u201d Sheehey-Church said. \u201cMADD is concerned that the trending increase in highway deaths points to a public health crisis that has largely gone unnoticed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let one more minute go by<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to turn this around.<\/p>\n<p>This country must come together to stop the wreckage.
