Attorney General's office joins up with Impaired Driving Council

Attorney General George Chanos has announced that the Attorney General's office is joining forces with the Nevada Impaired Driving Council to focus on reducing the number of DUI arrests in the state of Nevada. Statistics show that in Nevada, 165 people died in traffic accidents in 2005, a number which accounts for nearly 40 percent of all fatal traffic accidents in that year. One out of every 115 licensed drivers in Nevada was arrested for driving under the influence in 2005.
