Alcohol-Impaired Drivers Involved in Fatal Crashes, by Gender and State, 2007-2008. August 2009

  • “This Research Note emphasizes recent trends in the number of alcohol-impaired drivers involved in fatal crashes, by the gender of the driver as well as the State where the fatal crash occurred. This analysis was per-formed in light of recent data1 from the Federal Bureau of Investigation that depicted a recent increasing trend in the number of female drivers arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol. Analysis of NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) shows that the number of alcohol-impaired (blood alcohol concentration, BAC=.08+ grams per deciliter) female drivers increased or remained flat in 15 States in 2008, as compared to 2007. In comparison, the number of alcohol-impaired male drivers increased or remained flat in 13 States. These changes are significant in the light of the overall drop of about 9 percent in the number of alcohol-impaired drivers nationwide from 2007 to 2008.”
