Repeat Drunk Drivers
Hardcore Drunk Drivers

REPEAT DRUNK DRIVERS
Fatally injured drivers with BAC levels of 0.08 or more are 900% more likely to have a prior
DWI conviction than fatally injured sober drivers.
A driver with at least one prior DWI conviction is 140% more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver
with no DWI conviction.
NHTSA National Center for Statistics and Analysis, 2004

REPEAT DRUNK DRIVERS
37% of DWI offenders are already under probation supervision at arrest
47% of those in jail or prison for DWI have priors
One third of all drivers arrested for DWI/DUI are repeat offenders; causing nearly half of all DWI
fatalities
Median BAC is .19 for repeat offenders

above.
Drivers with a BAC of .15 or above are 385 times more likely to be involved in a crash
than a sober driver
