Drunk Driving Convictions Drop Sharply
Description
Drunk driving convictions have dropped nearly 10% over nine years, with teens and young adults leading the decline—convictions for 19 and under fell by more than half. Meanwhile, middle-aged and older drivers saw increases or held steady. Men still dominate the stats, making up 80% of convictions. Tech is helping too: alcohol interlock devices, which prevent car starts after drinking, have risen 7% since 2019. Public support remains strong for stricter penalties, interlock devices, and alcohol education to keep roads safer.
