MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama state troopers have a new device
to combat drunk driving.
Governor Bob Riley has awarded almost $1.4 million in grants to
provide troopers with specially equipped vans called "BAT
Mobiles."
"BAT" is a breath alcohol testing device that allows troopers
to conduct roadside sobriety checks.
Riley said in a statement Tuesday "that about 40 percent of all
traffic deaths in Alabama involve alcohol."
The "BAT Mobiles" will be on display at a news conference
Wednesday in Montgomery. State officials are also expected to
announce plans for another "Take Back Our Highways" traffic
safety initiative.
