Police are investigating whether drinking or drugs led to a crash that shut down a stretch of I-94 for hours in Macomb County. That's our top story as WWJ's Tony Ortiz and Tracey McCaskill run down the local headlines for your Thursday afternoon in Metro Detroit. (Photo: Darrylin Horne/WWJ)

This is THE OHL Podcast, so it might seem odd that we're talking about the WHL. But it makes sense when you consider both leagues are under the CHL umbrella, right? And this news from The Dub is REALLY interesting, with too many parallels to OHL expansion for the guys to ignore. Plus, why the story of Cam Allen being charged with impaired driving has implications well beyond junior hockey. And for some reason, Dan and Farwell want more overtime. Sit back, relax, and enjoy all that while also getting your weekly Wraparound and some news from Erie that you, er, Otter know. The OHL Podcast is supported by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

The RCMP said impaired driving charges and incidents remain the same year after year, and the RNC stats reflect this as well. Constable James Cadigan is the public communications officer with the RNC, and he spoke with us over the line today to discuss.

On this week's episode, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss how impaired driving statistics are being manipulated to justify policing decisions, the Victoria Police Department's controversial use-of-force data, and a Supreme Court ruling that makes life tougher for Uber Eats drivers facing distracted driving charges. Plus, hear about a Victoria driver caught cruising on Christmas Eve without a front tire in this week's Ridiculous Driver of the Week!

The Wood Buffalo Food Bank is holding their annual Syncrude Food Drive this weekend. The advocacy group Don't I Matter is calling for more supports for students from the province in the midst of the CUPE strike. Lastly, Wood Buffalo RCMP joins the show to talk about impaired driving ahead of the holiday season.

On this week's program, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with Alex Otte, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Regional Executive Director and former National President. Alex is a Kentucky resident, who was hit by a boat driven by a drunk driver while sitting on a jet ski when she was 13 years old. Despite sustaining severe injuries — including a traumatic brain injury, broken neck, shattered femurs, and the loss of her right leg below the knee — Alex survived and has dedicated her life to ending drunk driving. Learn Alex's personal story at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN7vEoTkeOE December is Impaired Driving Prevention Month - and December is also a month where we see an increase in impaired driving due to the holiday celebrations and increased travel. Tune in as Alex shares some valuable safety tips during this high-risk period. You'll also learn what MADD is doing to end drunk driving year-round, and how anti-drunk driving technology, required by the bipartisan, federal HALT Act which was passed into law in 2021, will ultimately end drunk driving. Drunk driving is an escalating public health crisis. Drunk driving deaths have increased by 33% since 2019, claiming more than 13,000 lives in 2022 alone — impacting families nationwide. Every 78 seconds, someone is killed or injured in a drunk driving crash. Anti-drunk driving technology in cars offers a lifeline, yet regulatory delays mean 37 more lives lost each day. MADD believes we can end drunk driving with lifesaving anti-drunk driving technology. The HALT Drunk Driving Act, passed in November 2021, requires a new national safety standard for anti-drunk driving technology in all new cars. The law then requires car manufacturers to integrate the technology in new vehicles. This technology will save more than 10,000 lives per year and prevent hundreds of thousands of injuries, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The HALT Act directs the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to complete a rulemaking process to determine what technology solution is ultimately chosen. The law directed USDOT to establish regulations for this technology by November 15, 2024. The rulemaking process involves gathering insights from a broad range of stakeholders including auto manufacturers, safety experts, engineers, and the public, ensuring that the solutions developed are both effective and practical. This is similar to the regulatory process that brought us seatbelts, airbags and backup cameras, which are all standard in new vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is directed to complete a rulemaking process within three years of the November 2021 enactment of the IIJA. Automakers will then have two to three years to implement the new standard. The auto industry has the resources and expertise to make safety advancements like drunk driving prevention a reality, much the same way it has used its R&D prowess for self-driving vehicles, electrification and many safety innovations.

This week on The Heart of Giving Podcast, I had an illuminating conversation with Stacey Stewart, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). She shared powerful insights about MADD's impact and evolving mission.   Key Themes from Stacey's Interview:   - Despite a 50% decline in impaired driving fatalities since MADD's founding, recent years have seen a concerning 33% increase during 2019-2022 - Two-thirds of impaired driving fatalities involve drivers with blood alcohol levels nearly twice the legal limit (0.15 or higher) - Game-changing technology is on the horizon: new legislation mandates anti-drunk driving sensors in all new vehicles, potentially saving 10,000 lives annually   Notable Quotes: ''The world needs a lot of good... I've enjoyed the idea of being able to do good in lots of different ways.''   ''We have to do what is in the best interest of public safety.''   ''If we have a solution that we know exists that can save 10,000 lives a year... the question is why would we not do that?''  

They may not agree on much, but if there's one thing B.C.'s competing political parties seem to agree on, it's that British Columbians need more ways to get around the province. Our guest Denis Agar, ‘Movement: Metro Vancouver Transit Riders' executive director speaks with guest host Amy Bell, and we hear from people across this diverse province. Then, Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada national's president is raising awareness about the risks associated with drug- and alcohol-impaired driving. We speak to the group's national president and invite you to tell us if someone's impaired driving has affected you.

AP correspondent Jackie Quinn reports on a plea deal for Justin Timberlake, who had initially been charged with DUI this summer in New York.

A man facing charges in Sunday's drunk driving crash that killed two people and injured nine others at Park Tavern in St. Louis Park is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon.There are questions surrounding his DWI record. During yesterday's news conference outlining the charges, Hennepin County Attorney Moriarty said it was “hugely problematic” that Steven Bailey still had a driver's license. Bailey had an ignition interlock installed in his car for several years after convictions for drunk driving.The Minnesota Department of Health estimates one in seven Minnesotans has at least one DWI. The national group Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) argues ignition locks and other technology preventing an intoxicated driver from operating their car could help reduce drunken driving deaths. For more on these steps, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Lauren Johnson, marketing and community engagement manager for MADD's Upper Midwest Region.

For years, experts have been perfecting sophisticated technologies that could virtually end impaired driving on U.S. roads — and thanks to a new bill, regulators are already exploring making it a requirement on all new cars. But will Washington take that historic step in the next two years, as advocates hope, or will the legislation get tied up in the misinformation campaigns that have plagued these life-saving ideas so far? Today on The Brake, we're talking to someone for whom passing the fight to stop drunk driving before it starts is uniquely personal: Rana Abbas Taylor, who endured the unimaginable in 2019 when her sister, brother in law, and the couple's three children were all killed by a heavily intoxicated driver in a single horrific car crash. Now, the Honoring the Abbas Family Legacy to Terminate Drunk Driving (HALT) Act could prevent tragedies like theirs— but it needs your help to pass.   Listen in, and learn more about how to support the mandate here.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue on Alcohol Detection Devices

The holiday months are usually all about parties, family visits and Christmas concerts. Unfortnaley, holiday months can also be some of the deadliest months for people traveling on the road. A rise in impaired driving is typically the reason why due to all those late-night celebrations.   The definition of impaired driving can also mean multiple things. For example, it can mean driving under the influence of prescription drugs or it can mean driving under the influence of illicit drugs. It can mean driving drunk or driving tried. Because the definition of impaired driving has changed significantly over time, impaired driving has created its own set of challenges for law enforcement. Whether it's called drunk driving, driving under the influence, impaired driving or operating under the influence it is a serious problem, especially around the holidays, and it demands continued conversation and attention.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Groundbreaking technology is coming down the pike in the world of impaired driving. In 2021, Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which included a section on Advanced Impaired Driving Technology. The Act states that “to ensure the prevention of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities, advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology must be standard equipment in all new passenger motor vehicles.” If you regularly handle DWI cases, then this technology is going to significantly impact your law firm. Highlights: ·       Discover when this technology will be required on all new consumer vehicles. ·       Uncover the reasons that Congress has mandated this technology to be developed and implemented. ·       Learn about the two types of systems that are in research and development: the breath based system and the touch based system. ·       Find out where to get information on this technology so that you can start planning for the impact it will have on your firm.

On December 5th, 1933, the 21st amendment of The U.S. Constitution was ratified, effectively ending Prohibition in the United States. 90 years later, alcohol has become a well-studied substance with universally accepted quantities for what constitutes a single drink. But recently, there's been a new player in town. Cannabis. Across the United States, widespread legalization of marijuana has hurtled our country into uncharted territory. In 2018, more than 12 million Americans admitted to driving while under the influence of cannabis. Unlike alcohol, with no “legal limit” or field sobriety test, the dangers of driving while impaired by marijuana become all the more consequential. In fact, it was found that the rate of fatal crashes attributed to impaired driving doubles in states that have recently legalized the drug. All in all, it doesn't matter if you are for or against cannabis, as my guest today is an advocate for safety. Hello, I am your host Mike Lake and in today's preview I will be talking with Denise Valenti, CEO of IMMAD, a company that has developed a technology that can measure visual field functions that are essential for safe driving. Support the show
