DUI Statistics
Statistics are understandable that although driving while drunk has notably decreased with increased education, this is still a foremost concern for law enforcement officials:
- It is estimated that an alcohol-related crash occurs every 32 minutes.
- 55% of those killed in single-vehicle crashes on weekend nights had BAC levels of .08 or higher.
- The most hazardous time for alcohol-related crash deaths is 9pm to midnight.
- About three in every ten Americans will be caught up in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives. (NHTSA, 2001)
- One-third of DUI convictions are not first-time offenders, which shows most individuals do not learn from their faults.
