RE: Opioid crisis in America is growing exponentially. Here's one way our Steemit community can take action

Well, I dont have any data about the average distance driven per year/capita.
As to the DUI, those fatalities are included in the 2500 already. And driver who DUI usually dont care if its 0.05 or 0.08, they are way above that. Unfortunately, also here causing a death by DUI is not punished like a homicide.
Its possible that the driver training plays a role, or also the higher age limit (18) to get a licence. I dont know about US statistics, but here the under 25 year old (male in particular) are over represented in causing accidents and deaths, especially due to speeding.
