Worst California Counties For Drunk Driving Deaths

The Daily Mail lists the top 10 California counties for drunk driving deaths, with Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Sacramento counties taking the top five positions, respectively. Also:

    The soaring number of DUI deaths has seen advocates push to increase awareness, believing that combatting the issue starts with education. 

    Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE), an LA-based advocacy group, argues that the area has likely seen a substantial increase in hit-and-runs felonies since 2020 - 96 percent - due to the use of alcohol and drugs.

    In a January 24 report titled 'Traffic Violence in Los Angeles,' the group lays out statistics, pointing to a significant increase in DUI fatalities in the city alone since 2021.

The state's response has been to focus on reducing speeding, including installing more speed cameras. 

    Although unmentioned in the article, it is interesting to observe that Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego are in the top 20 metro areas country wide with the most illegal aliens, with Los Angeles in the number 2 spot.

    1. I'm surprised that Los Angeles is behind New York for the number of illegal aliens. From the cries of despair that followed Texas shipping illegals to New York City you would have thought it was a new experience for them. Instead, it is merely a shallow ploy to get more federal (i.e., yours and mine) money.
