Can someone give me these drunk driving statistics?
JANUARY 2008





Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year olds.





According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 3,490 drivers in this age group died in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 and an additional 272,000 were injured.





Drivers age 15- to 20-years old accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes.





Twenty-five percent of teen drivers killed were intoxicated. In 2002 (latest data available) the estimated economic cost of police-reported crashes involving drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 was $40.8 billion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.





Every year, over 17,000 people in America are killed in drunk driving accidents. In addition, roughly 500,000 people are injured each year in drunk driving accidents.





That equates to one intoxication-related automobile death every 32 minutes, and a drunk driving injury every 4 minutes.

Reply:48% of all accidents are alcohol related. 52% of all accidents are caused by sober drivers.
Reply:I'm working on the other two questions, but I dug up the first one:





Young men ages 18 to 20 (under the legal drinking age) reported driving while impaired more frequently than any other age group (Shults et al. 2002, Quinlan et al. 2005).
