Drunk Driver Threat Highlighted by Police Leader
Charleston May 4 Colonel P D Shingleton warns the drunken driver is the worst highway menace. He cites a "had been drinking" offender who kills or injures more per accident than the sober driver.

He explains reaction and braking distances at 30, 40 and 50 mph and cautions about the danger of high speed.
