Driving drunk or drunk is very dangerous, leading to injury or even death. This is a huge national problem that can be avoided. “Statistics reveal that most accidents linked to this phenomenon constitute the main cause of death among 16-24 year olds. » (Hanson) Many teenagers and young adults experience peer pressure to drink and end up driving drunk or drunk. When you drive drunk, your short-term memory and, often, your reflex are also impaired, so you don't have that quick response to go from pressing the gas pedal to the brakes or to make a gap. Therefore, drunk driving is a cycle that will never end. However, we can address this problem by stopping drunk drivers by making taxis mandatory wherever necessary, sobriety checkpoints and alcohol education classes. According to the article “U.S. Drunk Driving Fatalities,” “1.4 million drivers are arrested for drinking under the influence. (MacGregor and Collins) Many people do not realize the consequences and danger to themselves and others when they get into a vehicle while intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol. Adolescents and young adults experience peer pressure to drink; they have no one to call and their friends are too careless to not let other friends drive and get into a car accident because they were drunk. They ruin the lives of others as well as their own, hurting or even killing loved ones because of a regrettable decision. “Even though the proportion of alcohol-related accidents has decreased significantly over recent decades, there are still far too many preventable accidents. » (Hanson) Drunk driving will never stop because of poor individual decisions, we need to do something even more effective to reduce this percentage. We can play... middle of paper ...they did. The education course also helps people who have previously been in trouble with the law due to drunk driving. The course should be mandatory for them so that they don't make the same mistake more than once. The course will be useful in many ways by showing how alcohol affects the body after consumption and the ability to drive vehicles. In conclusion, all these preventive measures such as mandatory taxis across the country to any location when needed, sobriety checkpoints in small towns and big cities and alcohol education classes aimed at non only for adults but also for teenagers will help put an end to the problem and reduce the percentage of drunk driving. With thoughtful prevention measures like these, taking the extra step to help our nation will make the world a better place and a more responsible community. DWI and DUI are not acceptable and we can stop this!
