Whereas more work must be done to stop the preventable and 
tragic crime of impaired driving to make roads safer for 
drivers, passengers, and others sharing the road; 
Whereas the average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times 
before their first arrest, and studies have shown that the 
use of ignition interlocks reduce recidivism by up to 70 
percent in first-time, repeat, and high-risk offenders; 
Whereas H.R. 8213, the End DWI Act, would create a na-
tional ignition interlock standard by encouraging States 
to adopt mandatory first-time offender ignition interlock 
laws, helping to reduce recidivism and improve road safe-
ty by ensuring fewer drunk drivers are on the road; 
Whereas the Department of Transportation works to educate 
the public in December through the Drive Sober or Get 
Pulled Over and If You Feel Different, You Drive Dif-
ferent media campaigns; and 
Whereas many State and local law enforcement partner with 
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 
annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Campaign, en-
hancing roadway safety and combating impaired driving 
state: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) expresses support for the recognition of 
‘‘Impaired Driving Prevention Month’’ to raise 
awareness about the dangers of impaired driving;
