One of 50 Drivers Is a Drunk
Washington UPI reports the first of three articles on drunken driving. It cites that one in 50 drivers may be intoxicated, with drunk drivers having 15 percent slower reaction times and about 25 times higher crash risk than sober drivers. The piece notes 56,000 highway deaths this year and $500 million monthly in damages, urging focus on alcoholics rather than social drinkers in safety campaigns.
