According to statistics gathered recently by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) a fatal accident occurs due to an alcohol-impaired (drunk) driver of alcohol-related crashes each year are killed about 16,000 people every 50 minutes somewhere in the United States, and all two minutes a person suffers serious injuries in a car accident involving alcohol.

Although this glaring numerical sums can change over the course of time, the lesson is the same - drive under the influence of alcohol life claims. A recent study by the NHTSA shows the rather apathetic attitude of many drivers in the direction of the car accidents relating to drunkenness. A surprising 17% of drivers admit to drink before driving. Is reasonable to speculate that this number significantly underestimated the problem, because many people who have driven their past indiscretions under the influence of alcohol can choose silence it.

It is difficult to understand where this indifference and apathy is coming bearing in mind that drunk driving accidents can be devastating injuries, which can lead even to the death, as well as staggering medical expenses that can wipe savings virtually overnight from a family and to permanent loss of physical and mental work. The reality is that drunk driving accidents 30 percent of all car accident deaths cause.

Tougher DUI helped sentences and public education campaigns, the reduction of the drunken driver, but public apathy remains a problem. Hard core repeat offenders are treated in hard, and automatic license revocation appears to be the most effective measures to reduce the drunkenness. Other preventive legal measures include ensuring vehicles and ignition interlock devices that prevent that install an intoxicated person from his or her vehicle.

Given the enormous risk in a serious car accident and stricter penalties for DUI is involved, difficult to understand why people to drink and drive. However, one reason may be, that many drivers not their ability to drive if lens to assess under the influence of alcohol. In the latest survey of NHTSA forty percent of those polled indicated that they believed that she could also drive after consuming five drinks. Habitual drinkers are more inclined to believe that they can drive safely, when intoxicated, because their increased tolerance makes less feel like them them are affected. Still, their response time, coordination, reflexes, vision and judgment are likely to create a significantly increased risk for a drunk driving accident are affected.
