DWI Hit Parade

Check out this new website that is devoted to publicizing DWIs. It won't be popular with drunk drivers, but the rest of us will like it.

Created by Ken Rossignol of somewhere-in-Maryland, Ken has been on a crusade for years against drunk driving. Visit http://www.dwihitparade.com/

The first DWI Hit Parade was published on July 31, 1990, and has since "recognized" approximately 65,000 drunk drivers.

The offer of a free coffin isn't a joke. "A 2007 offer of a free coffin for the first drunk driver to kill himself during the Christmas season resulted in zero fatalities in the three counties of Southern Maryland due to alcohol as of Christmas Eve.  After victory was declared for the effort, and the offer ended, three days later a young man killed himself in Hollywood, MD. while driving drunk." (Snipped from DWIhitparade.com)

For years he published St. Mary's Today at www.stmarystoday.com  Last year he turned management duties over to others. And here's the new online publication.

Police agencies which desire to assist by providing arrest information are invited to send the data to staff@dwiHitParade.com
