Quick Facts About Drunk and Drugged Driving
In 2007, 12,998 people died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, accounting for 39% of all
traffic-related deaths in the United States.An alcohol-related motor vehicle crash kills someone every 31 minutes and nonfatally injures someone every two minutes.
Each year, alcohol-related crashes in the U.S. cost about $51 billion.
Most drinking and driving episodes go undetected. In 2005, nearly 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. That's less than one percent of the 159 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year.
There are actions that work to prevent injuries due to impaired driving. To further decrease alcohol-related fatal crashes, communities need to implement and enforce strategies that are known to be effective, such as:
Sobriety checkpoints. Fatal crashes thought to involve alcohol dropped a median of 22% following implementation of sobriety checkpoints.
0.08% BAC laws. Fatal alcohol-related crashes showed a median decrease of 7% following the implementation of 0.08% BAC laws in 16 states.
Minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) laws. Raising the MLDA from 18 to 21 decreases crash-related outcomes a median of 16% for the targeted age groups.
Zero tolerance" laws for young drivers. One study found that fatal crash outcomes decreased 24% after implementation of "zero tolerance" laws.
“Charm” has a whole new meaning. More than 30 years after the first Trollbead was born in Denmark, the Nielsen/Aagard family and their team of designers continue to “charm” collectors with their imaginative jewelry designs. Handcrafted from the finest quality raw materials including 18K gold, sterling silver, Italian glass, natural pearls, precious stones and Swarovski crystal, each bead is a treasure to behold. Every irresistible piece has its own story inspired by love, nature, fairytales, mythology, cultures, and the diversity of the world around us.
