In 2006, about 28% of all traffic-related fatalities in the US were due to alcohol-impaired driving. This translates to approximately 13,500 people who died in drunk driving accidents that year.
Two-thirds of all motor vehicle fatalities between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. occurred in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes, and more than half (55%) of drivers involved in fatal crashes at those hours, were alcohol-impaired.
DUI is entirely preventable, as it is a choice to operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. By making responsible decisions and alternative arrangements for transportation, individuals can avoid driving impaired.
