CH. 1

According to the NHTSA, in 2013, Florida had the third-highest number of fatalities in collisions involving a driver with a BAL of .01 or more.

Florida's 790 deaths ranked behind only California (1,025) and Texas (1,550). Florida has 3/4 the population of Texas and only 1/2 that of California.

Using the NHTSA's 2007 data on traffic fatalities in Florida, the study found that the total annual cost of alcohol-related traffic collisions was $7,275,015,532. If you made $150,000 a year, earning that much money would take you almost 50,000 years.

This price tag accounts only for the 1,051 fatalities and 81,252 injuries caused by alcohol-related traffic collisions.

• Death costs due to drug toxicity: $20,181,462,681

• Crime: $2,396,620,311

• Total: $22,681,284,691

You can see that the majority of these costs are due to drug-attributable deaths. It is estimated that in Florida alone, almost 4,500 deaths occur annually due to drug use.

Traffic collisions, injury and illness, violence, intentional injury, other crimes, rehabilitation, and suicide are greatly heightened with underage drinking. Each of these is costly to Floridians.

• Alcohol-attributable violent crime was responsible for the greatest costs to society, accounting for 49% of the total cost.

• Traffic collisions were the next-largest component of total underage drinking costs at $642.7 million. These include medical and emergency services, lost productivity, insurance, administration, workplace and legal expenses, expenses delay, and property damage.

Alcohol-attributable crime costs, including motor vehicle theft, household burglary, larceny, and other theft, were estimated to be $316.3 million.

Other costs associated with underage drinking include:

• Risky sexual behavior: $291.1 million

• Fetal alcohol syndrome: $75.4 million in medical costs and reduced productivity

• Suicides and suicide attempts: $48.3 million

• Alcohol abuse treatment: $2.8 million

• Medical costs, productivity losses, and costs associated with other injuries, including drownings, burns, and poisonings: $202.5 million

CH. 2

impaired (drunk) drivers = death

• 1,567-the number of people who got into a car thinking the driver was not too impaired to drive, and who then died in a crash

• 1,157-the number of people who were in their vehicle and were struck and killed by an impaired driver

• 200-the number of children aged 14 and younger were killed when the vehicle they were in was involved in a collision caused by an impaired driver

Today every car has seat belts, crumple zones, + airbags

impaired driver = risks for pedestrians

If you're driving impaired and you strike and kill a pedestrian, there's a 1-in-24 chance that you will be killing a child.

In 2013, Florida suffered more pedestrian fatalities in traffic collisions than any other state except California. Of the 4,735 pedestrian fatalities nationwide, 501 (11%) were Floridians.

• 213 (29%) of these fatalities involved at least one vehicle operator with a BAL of .08 or higher.

Florida's bicyclist death rate of 6.80 per million population in 2013 was the highest in the nation.

impaired driver = risks for construction workers, police officers, etc

• Construction workers often must spend several hours a day working on the side of the road. Warning signs are intended to prevent injuries to construction workers, but these warnings are not always seen or heeded.

• Crossing guards, on-street traffic police, and paramedics also spend time on the roadway as a part of their job. All such workers are at a greater risk of being struck by a vehicle.

CH. 3

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), 45,098 Florida driver’s licenses were revoked for DUI in one year from 2009 to 2010. In addition, there were 36,872 DUI convictions.

hard to revoke a license after 4th

Within 30 days, you will be given a hearing at which you must demonstrate that you have:

1. Not been convicted of a drug-related offense within five years

2. Not driving a motor vehicle without a license within five years

3. Been drug-free for the previous five years

4. Completed a DHSMV-licensed DUI program

If the DHSMV determines that you are qualified and fit to drive and that you have a need to drive, it may reinstate your license.

you can be supervised

drunk drivers affect

• friends

• family

People who handle your corpse

• Police arriving on the scene of the crash will have to look at your body and make a preliminary decision about whether you can be resuscitated.

• Paramedics and firefighters who arrive later will have to remove your body from the wreckage-including picking up any severed body parts.

• If you're not dead yet, you'll be taken to a hospital trauma center, where doctors and nurses will work as hard as they can to save your life.

• Once you're dead, a coroner or medical examiner will study your corpse to determine the cause of death and test for the presence of alcohol or drugs.

• Your dead body will be stored in a morgue and handled by morgue attendants when a family member comes to identify it.

• A mortician will then clean and dress your body unless it has been too severely dismembered or disfigured.

• Finally, there will be a funeral. If your face is still recognizable, there may be an open casket. Friends, family, and funeral workers will be present to see your corpse or your coffin.

Crazy right? Don’t be impaired when driving.

Kids = 1-50 chance of being dead

Young adults = 1 in 12 chance of being dead

Elderly people = 1 in 15 chance of being dead

Please remember that your actions can affect an entire community. You may kill yourself, your friends, your family, or strangers. When you drive impaired, you don't get to choose who dies.

Personal Consequences of Impaired Driving

While impaired, you are much more likely to wreck your car and die. If you wreck and survive, you may have to live with brain damage or paralysis for the rest of your life.

In addition, you may have to live with the guilt of having killed another human being.

• most likely not survive

The penalties for DUI convictions alone are severe. The penalties for DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide, however, are far worse.

If convicted of manslaughter or homicide, you will be fined up to $10,000 and imprisoned for up to 15 years. If you also leave the scene of the crime, you may be imprisoned for up to 30 years.

anyone dies

Your impaired driving collision will cost the city, county, and state a great deal of money. This money will have to come from taxpayers.

The NHTSA estimates that drivers with a BAL of .05 are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision than drivers with no alcohol in their bloodstream.

Drivers with a BAL of .08 are estimated to be about nine times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision, and for drivers with a BAL of .15, the estimate is 20 times the risk of sober drivers.

You may want to drive somewhere because there will be consequences if you don't-if you have a curfew or a date, or if you think your friends will be upset. But which is worse:

• Getting punished by your parents, or dying in a wreck?

• Having to explain to your date that you can't drive, or killing a stranger with your car?

• Upsetting your friends, or killing them?

The choice is clear.Don't drink and drive.
don t drive home when drunk. Call a friend thats sober, cab, etc.

stay where you are.

Avoid drinking, have fun normally

In 2013, a total of 6,515 drivers with a BAL of .08 or more died behind the wheel of a car. If each of them had been with friends who cared enough and were aware enough to stop them from driving, none of them would have died.

Even if it's difficult or awkward, don't let your friends drive after they've been drinking. There's a good chance you'll be saving their life.
