Drunk drivers kill almost 4 people and injure 190 Canadians every day.

1,680 people are killed and 74,000 are injured every year in alcohol related crashes.

It is a proven fact that alcohol increases the risk and severity of a vehicular crash.

Drunk driving kills twice the number of people compared to our national homicide rate.

There are an estimated 4.5 million impaired drivers every month, on Canada’s roads.

One of out of five drivers has been drinking and one in 25 is legally impaired on Canadian roads at night.

A typical Canadian drinking driver is male, aged 25-34, who likely drinks a large amount of alcohol or is a “social drinker.”

Average blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level in fatally injured drunk drivers in Canada is 170mg/dL (legal limit is 80mg/dL).

Minimum penalties for a first time offender of impaired driving are a minimum fine of $600 and 1 year license suspension.

Maximum penalty for an impaired driver causing death is life imprisonment.

Over 75% of impaired driving charges result in conviction.  Of all criminal charges, impaired driving has the highest conviction rate.

30% of Canadians admit to drinking and driving, while 1% admits to doing it several times a week.
