Some very interesting and shocking facts and statistics about drinking and driving: Driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 is as dangerous as driving after not sleeping for 20 hours. One person dies every 48 minutes in a vehicular accident involving alcohol. 29% of motorcyclists killed in motorycle accidents had a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. It is estimated that 1 in 3 people, at some point in their lives, will be injured in a
drunk driving accident. In almost 20% of fatal
car accidents, at least one of the drivers was on drugs, or a combination of drugs and alcohol. As you can see, this truly is an epidemic.
