(CDC) website.
In 2005, a total of 43,443 traffic fatalities occurred, 39%
(16,885) of which were alcohol related.
Among these alcohol-related fatalities, 86% (14,539)
involved at least one driver, pedestrian, or bicyclist with a
blood alcohol concentration (BAC) >0.08 g/dL, a level that
is illegal in all states. Including both fatalities and
persons who survived the crash, the percentage of
persons with a BAC >0.08 g/dL was 32% for pedestrians,
27% for motorcycle operators, 22% for passenger-car
drivers, and 21% for drivers of light trucks. Male drivers
and drivers aged 21--24 years had the highest BACs. A
previous conviction for driving while impaired had been
recorded for 9% of drivers with BACs >0.08 g/dL who were
involved in fatal crashes, and 25% had had their licenses
suspended or revoked previously.
Safety belts were used by only 28% of fatally injured
drivers with BACs >0.08 g/dL, compared with 56% of
fatally injured drivers with BACs of 0.00 g/dL.
