Why

It is illegal in the U.S. to drive while impaired. (CDC). 

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S. In 2017, six teens aged 16–19 died every day due to motor vehicle crashes, and hundreds were injured. (CDC) 

Nearly 30 people die each day in drunk driving crashes in the U.S. That’s one person every 50 minutes. (NHSTA)  

In 2016, approximately 20% of teen drivers involved in fatal crashes had been drinking. (NHSTA)
