The human cost involved in a car crash is paramount but did you know alcohol-impaired crashes cost more than $37 billion annually? As part of our continuing series of resources on automotive safety (see: texting and driving, science behind the seat belt, and child safety in cars). Between 12 am and 3 am drunk drivers kill someone every 23 minutes. Drunk driving accidents are responsible for one death every 51 minutes (29 deaths per day). The average drunk driver drives drunk 80 times prior to the first arrest. Up to 75% of convicted drunk drivers continue to drive with a suspended license. ( By Muhammad Saleem )
