According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 2,597 people were killed in United States traffic accidents in December 2010. Of those, 775 deaths involved alcohol-impaired drivers. A 2006 study by the NHTSA estimated that there is one drunk driving fatality in the United States every 30 minutes.
Georgia's Driving Under the Influence Laws are complex. Georgia DUI injury attorney Shane Smith can sort through the intermingled laws that potentially create complications in a DUI case.
Georgia state officials offer a smartphone app called "Drive Sober, Georgia" to help impaired drivers find safe rides home. Georgia officials announced the new app in 2012 in hopes that the alternative would entice impaired drivers to stay off the road following holiday and New Year's parties.
The Governor's Office of Highway Safety subsequently produced a bar coaster with a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone to download the app. The app then provides the user with information about regional services to get home safely
According to the NHTSA, a drunk or DUI driver who caused an accident resulted in 12,998 deaths nationwide in 2007. By comparison, a DUI driver who caused a traffic accident resulted in 13,491 deaths in 2006, a year-over-year decrease of 3.7 percent.
