Distracted Driving Vs Drunk Driving - Which One
is more Dangerous?
2
Most drivers are aware of the dangers of driving.
However, no one expects to get involved in a car
accident. According to statistics, car accidents
take tens of thousands of lives and injured
around three million people each year.
The two main reasons why car accidents occur are
Distractions
DUI (Driving under the influence)

Driving Under The Influence of Drugs or Alcohol
Driving is one of those things. When a drunk
person sits behind the wheel, they will not pay
attention to traffic, traffic signs, lights,
symbols, speed limit. They will just drive
regardless of any consequences. One in three
drunk drivers will end up in a car
accident. Keep in mind that these car accidents
usually involve minor to medium injuries, but
every once in a while, more than one person dies
in these injuries.

Intoxicated Means
On the other hand, getting pulled by the police
while intoxicated means the following

• You will spend a night in jail
• You may lose or get your drivers license
  suspended
• You will have to pay fines and penalties
• You may end up going to jail for a longer period
  of time (if this is not your first DUI)

Driving While Distracted
On the other hand, distractions are the main
cause of car accidents. Whether you focused on
the billboard in front of you, or checked your
email, or responded to a message on your
smartphone, or tried to grab your sandwich, the
chances are that you will get involved in a car
accident (and most likely cause it). After that,
there is no going back. You will have to face the
consequences of your actions.

Distractions are Everywhere
Depending on the type of the accident and the
type of injuries other parties sustained, you
will be charged accordingly. You could end up
paying a few hundred dollars, a few thousand
dollars, tens of thousands of dollars or going to
prison. Distractions are everywhere, and every
driver should be aware of them. For that reason,
focus on the road while driving, and remember not
to use your phone, not to drink or eat, and do
not play with other passengers while behind the
wheel. Safety is and should always be your number
one priority.
