LOS ANGELES, CA-(Marketwired - Mar 15, 2017) - Blow & Drive
Interlock, Corp (OTCQB: BDIC) is pleased to announce that it has
participated as a data provider to Mothers Against Drunk Driving
(MADD) as a part of their new 2017 report in ignition interlock
devices. We are proud to be among the select group of only eleven
ignition interlock providers who have collectively stopped an
estimated 2.3 million attempts to drive drunk since 2006. Over
350,000 driving attempts were stopped in 2016 alone. According to
the National Transportation Administration's Department's Office of
Behavioral Research, each of these drivers would have had an
estimated 6.75x greater chance of crash risk. We are always
thrilled to highlight to shareholders that they are part of a
company that is literally saving lives.
According to MADD's report, "Every state in the nation has an
ignition interlock law of some kind. MADD's goal is to for every
state to have the most effective ignition interlock law, which is
one that applies to every drunk driver after the first offense.
When MADD's Campaign started, only New Mexico had an all-offender
ignition interlock law. Today, 28 states and the District of
Columbia require ignition interlocks for offenders with a .08 blood
alcohol concentration (BAC) and above after the first offense. MADD
is committed to working with the other 22 states to pass similar
laws, and to help every state optimize its laws and expand the use
of technology to stop the tragedies caused by drunk driving."
