Deaths from drunken driving crashes have declined by 2 percent - despite more miles driven.
- State statutes were stiffened in 2003 so that more drivers can be convicted with a lower reading than ever before.
"There's no reason to believe there are significantly fewer drunk drivers," greeted the good news MADD Matt Shedd.
