Operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol or other impairing substances remains a significant cause of vehicle crashes, serious injuries, and fatalities in Louisiana. In 2021, more than 40% of the motor vehicle crashes in Louisiana were alcohol-related. The number of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities was 299. The good news is that only about 1/3 of those convicted of Operating a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated become repeat offenders.

Come to this session to learn how to answer those questions.
