So, if you’re driving 2 cars, get pulled over, and blow a .10…

does that mean you’re off scot-free? You’re only doing .05 per car.

No, that’s a false conclusion. Actually, no people die, cause there’s no way to show there are 19 drunks driving.

I like the way you think, though, tsi.

How do you figure this? Not everyone who drives after having a drink kills someone, and not everyone who is killed in a traffic accident is done in by a drunk driver. In fact…

In 2005, 39% of total traffic fatalities were alcohol-related. Please note that the term ‘alcohol-related’ does not indicate that a crash or fatality was _caused_ by the presence of alcohol in the driver’s system.

If a sober driver kills an alcohol-impaired pedestrian, it’s still considered an alcohol-related crash.

Therefore, the majority of traffic deaths involved drivers who had _not_ been drinking.

And, as always, please remember the founder of MADD was convicted, well after starting this movement, of, (fanfare…) DUI.
