What was the percentage of traffic crashes alcohol related in 2006?
The percentage of traffic crashes that were alcohol related in 2006 can vary and depend on the specific source of data. For instance:
* According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, 31% of all fatal traffic crashes in the United States involved a drunk driver (blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher).
* The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reported slightly different statistics for the same year. Based on their analysis of fatal crashes, they estimated that 38% of passenger vehicle driver fatalities occurred in crashes involving a driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher.
It's important to note that these figures are specifically for fatal traffic crashes, so they don't capture information about non-fatal crashes involving alcohol. To obtain more details or updates on traffic crash statistics, it's best to refer to the most current reports and data from credible sources such as the NHTSA, IIHS, or other reputable organizations working in road safety research and statistics.
