For drivers who frequently drive under the influence of alcohol, it doesn’t matter how many times the statistics are thrown at them. You can try to reason with them or you can even attempt to yank the keys out of their hands, but they will still drive after drinking way too much alcohol. The fact that alcohol is the number one cause of automobile fatalities and they are thus putting people’s lives at stake when they get behind the wheel is of little consequence to them.

People who choose to drive drunk are a menace to society and can end up killing not only themselves but the people in the car they hit if they get into an accident. If you or someone you love has been the victim of a drunk driver and wish to pursue legal action, contact the St. Petersburg personal injury lawyers of Beltz & Ruth, P.A. by calling 800-931-4369 today.

Since some people will drive drunk no matter what others might say to them, it is important that all drivers be aware of the potential threat of drunk drivers. If you encounter a drunk driver while on the road:

• Find out the license plate number of the car
• Remember the color and make of the car
• Call the authorities and report the suspicious vehicle

While these steps may help you and those you love stay safe on the roads, there is no way to ensure that you will not come into contact with a drunk driver. Sadly, drunk drivers can cause serious injury or even death to innocent drivers and pedestrians.
