Drunk driving – Driving drunk or driving while intoxicated(DWI) has traditionally been responsible for the highest death rates in the US. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) estimates that 17,941 people died in 2006 in "alcohol-related" collisions, representing 40 percent of total traffic deaths in the US. Th ebest technique to aid with preventing drunk driving is to make it a policy to take keys from friends, when you know they’ve been drinking. You may also wish to drive them home, or hire any one of a number of services designed to get the driver and his car home safely.
