Drinking Drivers Called Major Traffic Menace
New York report quotes Alfred Reeves of the Automotive Manufacturers Association distinguishing between drinking and drunk drivers. He says drunken drivers pose a clear danger, while drinking drivers often appear sober to police but impair reactions. Authorities lack stable statistics on their role in accidents, noting enforcement faces challenges proving intoxication in court. Passengers riding with drinkers accept risk, and overall 85 to 86 percent of motorists are careful, leaving 10 to 15 percent highly accident prone who could be reduced if drinkers were eliminated.
