Most people in the U.S. view drunk driving as a “major threat to their personal safety and that of their families,” the NHTSA reports. Intensive research by that agency has detailed alarming levels of impaired driving nationwide. Drunk-driving accidents claim the lives of some 158 people in a year’s time in Colorado. Those most at risk, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are:

Young people – one in 6 traffic fatalities among children under 14 involve alcohol-impaired drivers.

Motorcycle riders – nearly a third of motorcyclists who die in traffic crashes have blood alcohol concentrations over the legal limit.

Individuals with previous DUI convictions – drunk drivers involved in fatal accidents are 8 times more likely to have been convicted of DUI previously.
