Since 1991, NHTSA has been conducting a representative national telephone survey on drinking and driving every other year to measures the status of attitudes, knowledge, and behavior of the general driving age public about drinking and driving. This report describes an analysis of the 1995 NHTSA survey data to assess self-reported drinking and driving prevalence using two key definitions - driving within 2 hours of drinking alcohol and driving over the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit. Additionally, using FBI crime reports, this report estimates drink-driving arrest rates. Overall, for the year 1995,21.9% of the population 16 and over reported 791 million trips within two hours of drinking, 90 million trips above the legal limit for their state, 6.4 million stops by police officers for suspicion of driving under the influence, and 1 million arrests for driving under the influence. |
