Startling Statistics III: Drunk Driving Deaths
Posted on 22. Sep, 2007 by kchristieh in articles, startling statistics
According to this week’s Time Magazine, 42% of traffic deaths in California involve at least one vehicle operator with a blood-alcohol content of .08% or more. Utah has the lowest rate, at 24%, and Hawaii has the highest, 52%.
To fight drunk driving, state courts may require that prior DUI offenders install devices that prevent impaired drivers from starting their cars.
Sounds like a great idea to me – do it now!

I am a student working on a yearbook spread about drunk driving. I would like to know if you would allow me to include this chart on my page. Thank you
Hi, I wanted to know if it is okay if I use this chart for a research paper I am writting on drinking and driving for school? Thanks!
