One thing that remains perplexing is our tolerance of intoxicated individuals driving vehicles.
Annually, thousands of lives are lost due to driving under the influence. In the UK alone, an average of 940 individuals perished each year in accidents caused by driving under the influence from 1979 to 2014.
This issue is equally concerning—or even worse—in other nations. Hence, it’s crucial to acknowledge those who strive to ensure road safety.
