What is the effect of alcohol on driving skills and crash risk? ... Are most alcohol-related crashes caused by repeat offenders? 1. What is "drunk driving?" The term "drunk driving" is an inaccurate characterization of the problems caused by motorists who are impaired by alchol. The first criminal laws targeting this problem prohibited "drunk driving," encouraging the notion that the problem involved drivers who were visibly drunk. In fact, many alcohol-impaired drivers do not appear drunk in the traditional way. Research has shown that even small amounts of alcohol can impair the skills involved in driving, but the persistent notion that the problem is predominantly one of drunk drivers has allowed many drinking drivers to decide they are not part of the problem. For these reasons, the term "alcohol-impaired driving" is a more accurate and precise description of what is commonly referred to as "drunk driving." back to questions 2. What does blood alcohol concentration measure?

Facts about DUI/DWI laws Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Laws Identifying Alcohol Impairment Key State Laws Enacted to Prevent Impaired Driving Strong, consistently enforced laws are critical to the success of impaired driving prevention and deterrence efforts. Research indicates that the different types of laws summarized below help reduce the incidence of impaired driving. Illegal Per Se Laws make it illegal in and of itself to drive with a BAC measured at or above an established level. Forty-nine states have established per se laws (Massachusetts is the exception). As of July 2002, 31 states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico had .08 as the established BAC level, while 18 states remained at the .10 level. In other words, it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle if a driver has a BAC level of .08 or .10, depending on the state. Research indicates that virtually all drivers show impairment in driving ability at .08 BAC, and the majority exhibit serious deterioration. Virtually all highway safety organizations and transportation safety agencies support .08 BAC, and in October 2000, Congress passed .08 BAC as the national standard for impaired driving regulations. States that do not adopt .08 BAC by a certain date will be denied a portion of their highway construction funds.
