DUI Accidents in California

Studies show that most drunk driving accidents occur between midnight and 3:00 a.m., which is when most drivers are leaving clubs, bars, or parties. After consuming a certain amount of alcohol, drivers will experience blurred vision, slowing-down of hand-eye coordination, and loss of ability to make responsible decisions regarding theirs and others’ safety, resulting in delayed reactions to one’s surroundings. Unfortunately, this is why most intoxicated drivers end up on the roads driving reckless, and as a result, thousands of people lose their lives or are seriously injured because of collisions caused by DUI.
