This 2020 holiday season, we again present our yearly column with updated stats on the dangers of drinking and driving. Being that we are enduring a difficult year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and fewer people are driving, some of the stats uncovered for 2020 are disturbing.
Sloat, Nicholson and Hoover PC, noted attorneys in Boulder, Colorado, have released information stating that although the bars may be closed, that doesn’t mean people aren’t drinking and driving in Colorado. The scary reality is that drunk driving statistics from the Colorado State Patrol show precisely the opposite is happening. From Jan. 1 to April 30, accidents involving alcohol and marijuana increased by 32%. Most alarming are the DUI fatalities, whereas for the same first four months of 2020 they are double what they were in 2019.
