Despite a 31% decline in fatalities due to drunk driving over the last several years, drunk driving is still directly responsible for over 10,000 deaths each year in the United States. NHTSA polled motorists in the 48 contiguous states to better provide sobriety checkpoint data for 2013 and 2014.

Statistics released to law enforcement show that 26% of weekend drivers tested positive for chemicals that might impair driving, which can occur when a driver’s attention is diverted from the road. Vehicles and pedestrians both present serious dangers to one another. Inattentive drivers imperil everyone on the road, including themselves. There are several activities that fall under the umbrella of “distracted driving,” including but not limited to chatting with passengers, fiddling with the stereo, and texting.

In 2016, about 3,500 people died in car accidents throughout the United States. Drivers who were multitasking at the time of the accident undoubtedly caused at least some of the deaths that occurred.
