SEATTLE, Aug. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Drunk driving fatalities are on a downward trend across the county. Forty-three states nationwide saw a decrease in drunk driving fatalities from 2000 to 2017, according to a new QuoteWizard® report.

The study also found that in states with less DUI fatalities, law enforcement's efforts to catch drunk drivers plus harsher penalties for drunk driving as well as ridesharing services are leading reasons for lower fatality rates.

Key Findings:

Drunk driving fatalities nationwide decreased by 18% overall from 2000 to 2017
Uber's ridership trends show that demand for rides peak around times when drunk driving accidents occur most.
One-third of all traffic fatalities in the US involve a drunk driver with a BAC of .08 or higher.
Minnesota, West Virginia and Alaska saw the biggest decrease in drunk driving fatalities from 2000 to 2017
Oregon, Wyoming, California, Maryland, North Dakota, and Maine are the only states that saw increases in drunk driving fatalities

Methodology

QuoteWizard analysts compared NHTSA drunk driving fatality data to find the rate of drunk driving fatalities in each state from the year 2000 to 2017. States are ranked based on the largest decrease in drunk driving fatality rates over the same time period. Drunk driving fatality data is based on the total number of fatal accidents where drivers had a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of .08+.
