DUI drivers are a problem every where they exist, but some cities have more than others.
If you list the 20 Cities in the USA with the most drivers who have alcohol-related driving convictions on their records, one fourth of those cities will be in Texas.
But don’t bother with the statistics: Insurance.com has already compiled the list for you.
And in their article they ask a very important question: “Do these places have more partiers or better law enforcement?”
Having more drivers with drinking convictions on their records could mean there are more drinkers on the roads OR that police are working harder to catch them and see them convicted.
And the second explanation could explanation why Texas – the state where MADD was founded – has more cities on the list than any other (California comes in second with 4). Since its founding in 1980, MADD has been pressuring courts and lawmakers, first here in Texas then quickly spreading across the USA, to strengthen and enforce the laws that get drunk drivers off of the roads.
