One person is killed every 52 minutes in a drunk-driving crash in the United States, and numbers are even more stark during the holidays, a period when the roads are particularly dangerous. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
earlier this month launched its annual holiday impaired driving enforcement campaigns to help raise awareness about the deadly consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol, and to encourage sober driving. “The tragic loss of life from driving impaired, whether under the influence of alcohol or drugs, is 100% preventable,” Steven Cliff, NHTSA’s deputy administrator, said in a statement. “It is illegal in every state,” the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. “I urge everyone to plan for a sober ride home.”
About one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers, according to the federal agency; in 2019, 10,142 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes that involved an alcohol-impaired driver.
