Man Ejected and Killed in Drunk Driving Accident on I-670
The only thing worse than drunk driving is the distracted driving that typically accompanies it. Alcohol clearly affects the judgment and reaction time for people and when they decide to get behind the wheel, things can get very dangerous, even deadly.

As experienced Kansas City Drunk Driving Injury Lawyers, we know there is nothing wrong with having a good time. But if you’re going to drink and driving, consider this– Kansas DUI laws are changing, new legislation is expected to pass that would require all those convicted of a Driving Under the Influence charge to install a interlock ignition device on their car. Hopefully that alone is enough to get you to think twice before you drink and drive.
It seems that drunk driving deaths across the country decreased by more than seven percent in 2009. Many officials believe that increased legal enforcement of DUI laws and continuing educational campaigns by government and non-profit groups are driving the decrease. But these actions have little effect on the hardcore drunk driver that cause 70 percent of fatal alcohol-related crashes.
