DUI STATISTICS

As you can see from the links below, statistics on DUI arrests, accidents, fatalities and what constitutes an impaired driver are all over the board. Groups that campaign against drunk driving such as MADD, SADD, DADD and RADD support their campaigns with statistics that make it look as though the problem has not gotten better even with increased punishments, lowered BAC levels and driver’s license consequences. Other groups, such as the National Motorists Association, have examined the statistics and found them skewed to fit MADD’s and other similar groups’ agenda. Below are links to various sites on both sides of the argument.
