A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a news story about a guy that managed to get himself arrested for DUI twice in the same night. Getting arrested once was apparently not good enough for this genius. While in the squad car, he managed to get to the front seat and proceeded to drive off. Fortunately, nobody was actually hurt but that is not always the case. You can find several references of DUI fatalities every single day across the country.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drunk drivers accounted for 32% of all automobile fatalities in 2008. The NHTSA also provided data that showed over 17 Million people drove within 2 hours of drinking in 2008. That means that a shocking 8% of the drivers on the road were under the influence in 2008.
