Alcohol is the single largest factor in highway deaths--about 25,000 persons die annually in drinking-driving accidents, that add up to an annual estimated economic cost of over $5 billion. GAO assessed recent actions taken to combat these problems and concludes that society's general acceptance of drinking and driving is the main obstacle to a successful anti-drinking driver campaign. Before such accidents can be significantly reduced, a long term, continuous educational commitment will be necessary. This report says the Secretary of Transportation should take the lead in a massive effort to start changing social attitudes about drinking and driving.
