Drunk Driving

Courtesy of State Legislatures magazine (www.ncsl.org) comes these state by state statistics regarding what percentage of traffic deaths involve drunk drivers:

National Average -- 39 %

Lowest State -- 13% in Utah

Highest State - 55% in Washington DC

Conclusions/Assumptions - please correct me or add your own -- we can draw from these results:

  • The dominant religion in Utah is Morman of course thus their religious teachings keep drunk driving limited.
  • Washington DC is not only dangerous for tax payers but is also filled with drunk drivers.

Drink at home,

Todd
