According to MADD drunk driving account for 32% of highway fatalities. Clearly 2/3 of highway fatalities are caused by sober drivers and there is where your real risks lie.

Incorrect.

Sober: Not intoxicated or affected by the use of drugs

Unfortunately, 11,733 people died last year in drunk driving crashes involving a driver with a BAC of .08 or higher. This represents 32 percent of all highway fatalities and is unacceptable.

I believe .08 is the national standard for impaired driving. Some states have lower standards for sub groups such as minors.

Or would you have been happier if I'd have said, "Clearly 2/3 of highway fatalities are caused by sober drivers with BAC under .08 and there is where your real risks lie."?
