What to do?
In our small town, on average once a week
a drunk driver causes an accident. Most of the
time the accident is just a small fender bender,
but sometimes some one gets hurt.
When asked, I gave a simple suggestion that would stop
this. The whole town thought, "YES, that would work for sure,
and it would be easy!!
What was my suggestion?

stop driving :P
I got it!
On January 1st of each year you line up 52 cars on the main street. Then you go drag Fred (the town drunk) out of bed - he no doubt has a terrible hangover from the previous nights celebrating and take him down to the local pub. After a couple of hours of "preparation" Fred should be, well, "prepared", and you put him in his car and tell him he's been entered in a demolition derby. Once he's managed to "cause an accident" with each of the cars you can extract him, write up the accident reports and you're guaranteed another 364 accident free days and you can still report that "on average" a drunk driver causes an accident once a week.
Putting statistics to use for mankind...

Make the town an alcohol free town
Since its a small town everyone should know each other. So everyone should agree that if your drinking you should walk home. And since its a small town the drinkers should not have to walk far to get home or to where they are going. Simple as that.
Divert al the roads through the town, to the neighbouring town a few miles away
Hagar, your answer seems to be right. Only one small thing to add. Get the driver to pay for the damages of all those cars.
Outlaw all accidents.
i agree with savage...they should have to walk home
Statistically that would work, but it would never work in real life, and why would the whole town agree to something like that and think it would work? If that was the case why not line up 520 cars and be accident free for the next decade?
There could be a lot of suggestions, increase police force when the accidents are likely to happen, take keys away from people when the order beer at a bar, or offer complimentary taxi service. I refuse to believe that a town would agree to some plan having to do with statistics.
Make all the truck drivers drive cars. No truck drivers = no truck driver accidents!
or drive the trucks around the town and there is no accidents in the town, just near it.
I know u suggested to sell non-alchoholic drinks only but not telling everyone i.e. the drunk drivers so they wouldnt know the difference
you suggested to make the town a dry town. as in no alcohol just like in dubi
I agree with nicolas.
Yeah the drunks wouldn't know it was non-alcoholic until they started going through withdrawls and detoxing.
Reduce the town speed limit to 10MPH. Enforce it strictly. Then all accidents become fender-benders, and no one gets hurt.
Shoot whoever causes an accident while drunk, on site!!!
That would make people think twice about drinking and driving...
u suggested a thing that made people agree
You know, I've noticed that over the last few questions, at least one person has a violent answer. STOP THINKING VIOLENT!!!!!!! Yeesh...
N E ways, what nicolas said was what I thought of first, but I like the second last Anonymous's idea.

Answer:
I suggested that George (the drunk) give me his keys, and if he needed to go somewhere, I would drive him myself.
Trick: I never said there was more than one drunk driver. Some answered like there was only one drunk. Yeah, you guys got it.
Well Ragknot, that's okay up to a point.
What happens if George needs to go somewhere when you've been drinking like a fish. You then become the drunk driver and the town is no better off.
What are you going to do then, what if next time you have a big crash and hit a car with a young family onboard. How many children have to die before you take responsibility for your life and quit driving while drunk.
What happens next is up to you Ragknot, all I can say is never drink and drive.
A more simple solution would be to require anyone entering a bar to have a designated driver. It is simple and would save lives.
Your one town-drunk (George) causes an accident "on average once a week"?
And "sometimes some one gets hurt"???
Wow!
If 'George' is a continuing public hazard, causeing damage to life, limb and property once a week, why is he still on the streets?
Weird...
kill the driver : )
the best one is to kill the driver
Have a sceance. Contact satan. tell him to kill the drunk and everyone who thinks about drinking BEFORE they drink.
How is this easy? Satan loves to be talked to. Satan loves new visitors to hell. No more paper work. No one in charge of killing. No one blamed for killing.
Duh.
Prohibition...duhh
Maybe the suggestion is DONT DRIVE DRUNK!
