Re: one in three traffic fatalities on US roads involve alcohol
@Paul Herber"'one in three traffic fatalities on US roads involve alcohol '
which means that two out of three accidents were caused by sober drivers! "
Probably more, note the term involve alcohol which is not the same as caused by alcohol. Involve alcohol means at least 1 of the drivers was recorded to be over the legal limit. It does not mean the accident was necessarily caused by a driver over the limit or that alcohol was even a contributing factor.
I am not condoning drink driving, just pointing out that when ever stats like these be it speed or alcohol, etc are trotted out, they use the term involve to include all accidents where speed or alcohol, etc have been recorded rather than just the accidents where they were a contributing cause.
