If ever operating a motor vehicle on any sort of road, highway, street, shopping center, etc. while under the influence of alcohol the person doing this is committing a DUI offense. About forty-five people are killed a day because of a DUI accident. Anyone that drives a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants has a greater risk in getting in an accident because of being impaired by the intoxicants. Most DUI accidents happen to those of the age of fifteen through twenty. Most fatal crashes involve alcohol, but sometimes other drugs, whether they be over the counter, prescription or illegal drugs can impair your ability to drive, and thus if driving with any of these, one can be considered intoxicated.
