Many of those deaths are from drunk driving accidents
Would be nice then to have a drunk-friendly “take me home” auto-drive button. Would save a lot of lives. We’re just about there, and this shorting nitwit wants to cancel it so he can make a buck.
More of those deaths are caused by inattentive drivers. Texting, talking on the handheld, makeup applyers, and the like.
Impaired driving has fallen from #1 to #3 cause of road deaths.
Every day, about 28 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that’s one person every 52 minutes. In 2019, these deaths reached the lowest percentage since 1982 when NHTSA started reporting alcohol data — but still 10,142 people lost their lives.
