Dangers of Driving While Drunk
Drugs and alcohol contribute to many accidents on US roadways each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than one million motor vehicle operators were taken into custody for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The statistics show that drugs play a role in approximately 16% of motor vehicle accidents while the proportion of fatal crashes involving alcohol is above 25%. Every day, about 29 people die in the US in vehicle accidents involving intoxicated drivers.
It is almost obvious that driving while intoxicated is irresponsible and could be deadly both to the involved drivers and other road-users. Intoxicated drivers tend to be overconfident and usually make impaired judgements. A drunk driver who causes harm to others will no doubt be faced with stiff penalties.
