How To Prevent A Drunk Driver from Getting In A Car Crash

The best way to prevent drunk driving accidents is to make preparations before an event or you start drinking. Here are a few steps to make sure you and your friends are not driving drunk.
  • Do not allow your friends to drive home when they are impaired by alcohol, even if they insist that they are capable.
  • When with a group of people, assign a designated driver who remains sober.
  • If you are the host of a party, take away the keys of anyone too drunk to drive home. You should also remind your guests to plan ahead and arrange a safe way of leaving the event.
  • If there is no sober driver available, call for a taxi or someone else to pick you up. It is better to be cautious than take the risk of driving while intoxicated. With ride sharing apps like Lyft and Uber there is no reason to drive after you have been drinking.

Impaired Driving is Drunk Driving and Can Cause a Car Wreck

A DWI or drunk driving accidents causes serious and often fatal injuries. Alcohol affects judgment and reflexes. The drunk driver is an impaired driver.  As a result of the impairment from alcohol or other drugs, the drunk driver cannot take actions to prevent an accident or lessen the seriousness of an accident. Many drunk driving accident are the result of a driver who has lost depth perception and does not appreciate speed and distance because of  the alcohol or drug use. Drunk drivers often have erratic speeding patterns — too fast, then too slow. Drunk drivers fail to adjust to traffic patterns. They may forget to turn on their lights or signal their turns. Many can be overconfident with their ability to operate the vehicle safely and as a result cause an accident to occur. Unfortunately, that confidence can that causes drunk driving accidents endangers their own lives and the lives of family members and strangers. 

Difference Between a DWI Auto Accident and A DUI Car Wreck

DWI is when a driver is driving while intoxicated on alcohol and has a blood alcohol content being over .08. A DUI (driving under the influence) is when the driver is usually under the age of 21. A DUI is is only issued to minors (those under the age of 21). Accordingly, a minor may be charged with a DUI if they are driving with any amount of alcohol in their system, but are still under the legal limit (blood alcohol content of .08).  Ultimately, the charge  of DWI or DUI means little when you were injured in a auto accident by a drunk driver. There are typically to different types cases, a civil case for your injuries and a criminal case brought by the State.
