One person every 32 minutes DIES in America in a drunk driving wreck.

That’s approximately 50,000 lives lost due to automotive and alcohol related crashes.

Repeat offenders account for only 1 percent of all the drivers on the road at night and on weekends but they are involved in half of all fatal crashes.
