How Big A Problem Is DUI or DWI?
Even with all the current publicity and outcry, drunk driving is still a very serious and large problem throughout the United States. Thousands of Americans are killed each year in DUI/DWI accidents. Although many of those accidents result in the death of the intoxicated driver, a significant and unfortunate number involve the death of people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Men, women and children are injured or killed every day by the reckless actions of drunk drivers. DUI’s don’t just cause physical injuries. Serious emotional and mental scars are all too often part and parcel of an alcohol or drug related driving accident. The number of people, both innocent victims and DWI offenders alike, bearing severe psychological scars and mental problems is staggering. Many people simply can’t cope with everyday life after a severe drunk driving accident. Some even turn to suicide as a way out.
