Alcohol Impaired Driving Resources
While fatalities of alcohol-impaired-driving crashes have decreased in the US in recent years, (10,908 in 2017 to 10,511 in 2018), the reduction in lives lost has not been enough. Almost a third, or 29% of all fatal traffic crashes involved drivers with blood alcohol concentrations of 0.08 percent or higher. That’s 10,511 deaths that could have been prevented in 2018 if all drivers were below the legal limit.
