The problem:
Driving under influence of alcohol is one of the major causes of accidents on the road. It is a risk involved with driving that can be wholly eliminated, but still occurs very frequently. Even the most responsible of drivers lose control of their senses when under influence and end up doing completely reckless things. Drunk drivers are not only a danger to themselves and other vehicles on the road, but also to pedestrians and roadside houses and shops. Underage drivers are specially known to drive under influence, and are involved in many minor as well as fatal accidents. They are notoriously known to get drunk and high in parties and engage in risky driving behavior, blowing safety precautions to the wind.
Not only does one face a DUI, fine, and car repair costs for such behavior, it can also get your license canceled permanently and include imprisonment along with a hefty fine. More importantly, you may be responsible for the loss of innocent lives, and ruin many families. Alcohol remains in your blood stream even the night after drinking, hence still affecting your decision making. You are unable to make split second decisions. Even smallest amount of alcohol affects your nervous system.
The numbers:
Statistics show that over 60% of teenager deaths in car accidents were related to alcohol. Over 500 kids under the age of 15 were arrested last year for drunk driving. Young teenagers are increasingly drinking and driving, long before they have their license. It is said that there is an alcohol related accident once every 22 minutes. The legal limit of Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is 0.08. At just 0.02 BAC, an individual shows indications of reduced alertness and loss of judgment. People suffer poor hand-eye coordination when at 0.05 BAC, which includes loss of muscle control and other problems in concentrating on the road. At 0.08, the person can’t really drive as he is not able to distinguish and analyze multiple moving objects and has very slow reaction time. Some people are even heavily influenced at just 0.02 BAC. In any case, any level of alcohol affects your driving.
The rising number of teenage alcohol related accidents is generally due to peer pressure and over confidence. People reckon that a couple of glasses of alcohol will not affect them, and hence invite trouble. Teenagers generally end up driving a vehicle because they think they can handle it and because they don’t have a dedicated driver.
Precautions:
As mentioned before, drunk driving is an issue which can be completely eradicated, given some strict measures. Sobriety courts and DUI courts have been very helpful in treating hardcore and repeating offenders, by treating their alcoholism. Heavy fine and permanent revocation is a highly effective method to prevent people drinking and driving. Sometimes, a jail sentence is also added to the punishment which has a lasting effect on the offender, especially first time offenders. Cars are also impounded for an indefinite period. Technological advancements have enabled creation of devices which check whether you are sober enough to operate your car. However, the single most effective method to prevent teenage drunk driving is creating awareness. It is of utmost importance that the physical and social misconceptions regarding alcohol are sorted out.
