Facts And Tips For Drunk Driving

This is a great little site I found that has tons of tips and advice about drunk driving. All deaths caused by drunk driving are 100% preventable. All it takes is making the right choice. Below is just a small sample of some of the great things in this article, so check out the full page to get all the great info!

Facts:
The relative risk of death for drivers in single-vehicle crashes with a high BAC is 385 times that of a zero-BAC driver and for male drivers the risk is 707 times that of a sober driver, according to estimates by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).


Solutions:
Automatic license revocation appears to be the single most effective measure to reduce drunk driving.

Mandating the installation of interlock devices that prevent intoxicated persons from starting a vehicle.


If You Must Drive, Stay Completely Sober:
Know your limit. If you are not sure, experiment at home with your spouse or some other responsible individual. Explain what you are attempting to learn. Most people find that they can consume one drink per hour without any ill effects.

Accept a drink only when you really want one. If someone tries to force a drink on you, ask for a non-alcohol beverage instead. If that doesn't work, "lose" your drink by setting it down somewhere and leaving it.

Protect Others:
Volunteer to be a designated driver.

Don't ever let your friends drive drunk. Take their keys, have them stay the night, have them ride home with someone else, call a cab, or do whatever else is necessary - but don't let them drive!
