In 1992 (the latest year for which data are available), more than 1.6 million persons in the United States (approximately 1% of licensed drivers) were arrested for driving while impaired (DWI) (1). Persons arrested for DWI are at substantially greater risk for future death in a motor-vehicle crash involving alcohol than those who have not been arrested for DWI, and this risk increases directly in relation to the number of DWI arrests (2). In addition, drivers convicted for DWI are at greater risk of being involved in a fatal crash, regardless of whether they are killed (3). This report summarizes data about convictions and arrests for DWI from state traffic safety officials analyzed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) during 1994.
1992年（可获取数据的最近一年），美国有超过160万人（约占持照司机的1%）因酒后驾车（DWI）被捕（1）。因酒后驾车被捕的人在涉及酒精的机动车碰撞事故中未来死亡的风险比未因酒后驾车被捕的人要高得多，而且这种风险与酒后驾车被捕的次数直接相关（2）。此外，被判酒后驾车的司机发生致命碰撞事故的风险更高，无论他们是否丧生（3）。本报告总结了1994年期间美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）分析的各州交通安全官员提供的酒后驾车定罪和逮捕数据。
