Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious problem that can have deadly consequences. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2020, over 13,000 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving a drunk driver. That’s one death every 45 minutes.
Drunk driving is not only a danger to the driver but also to everyone else on the road. Even a small amount of alcohol can impair your judgment and coordination, making it more difficult to react to unexpected situations. If you are caught driving drunk, you could face serious penalties, including fines, jail time, and the loss of your driver’s license.
