北达科他州酒驾率全美第三 每千名司机2起 中西部四州进前十

借贷树公司11月11日公布的最新研究显示,北达科他州每1000名司机中有2起酒后驾驶记录,酒驾率居全美第三,是中西部地区最高的州。研究分析了全美各州每1000名司机中的酒驾数量,发现中西部多州位居全国前列,共有四个中西部州进入全美前十、七个州进入前二十。排在北达科他州之后的是艾奥瓦州,每1000名司机有1.9起酒驾,全美第四。
北达科他州还在综合驾驶违规方面排名全美第十,包括撞车、酒驾和交通罚单等指标。北达科他州人口约78万,地广人稀,城镇之间距离远、公共交通有限,被认为是酒驾率偏高的结构性原因之一。研究提醒,随着感恩节和冬季假期临近,驾车出行增多,司机更应避免酒后驾车。北达科他州公路巡警部门长期提醒公众,酒后驾驶不仅面临高额罚款和吊销驾照,还可能造成致命交通事故。
North Dakota Ranks Third in Nation for DUI Rate, LendingTree Study Finds
North Dakota has the third-highest rate of driving under the influence in the nation, with two DUI incidents per 1,000 drivers, according to a LendingTree study reported Nov. 11. Wyoming ranked first at 2.4 per 1,000 drivers and Nebraska second at 2.2; Iowa was fourth at 1.9. Four of the top ten states are in the Midwest. Researchers said rural distances, limited public transportation and harsh winters contribute to the region's elevated rates.
State officials in Bismarck, Burleigh County, said enforcement and education campaigns continue, and they urged drivers to plan a sober ride, especially during the holiday season.
