iprospectcheck Study finds 1 in 5 Americans Wrongly Believe Driving Under the Influence is Not a Criminal Offense
USA, October 7, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a recent survey conducted by iprospectcheck--a leading national provider of employment background check and screening solutions--3,220 drivers across the nation provided their views on laws related to driving under the influence.
According to the survey results, 1 in 5 Americans believe driving under the influence is not a criminal offense. In the state of North Dakota, over half of the respondents believe that driving under the influence is a civil offense rather than a criminal one, while in Wyoming, only 8% of respondents have incorrect views.
Other findings from the survey include:
• Over 1 in 10 admitted to having driven while over the legal alcohol limit.
• 17% of drivers do not know what the legal alcohol limit to drive is in their state.
• Two-thirds of employees indicated they would report a colleague for driving under the influence.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, DUI cases have been on the rise in many states. Drunk driving is a serious, criminal offense, with thousands of people killed every year from alcohol-related car accidents. Not only is drunk driving dangerous, but the legal repercussions can include hefty monetary fines, license suspensions, and even jail time.
iprospectcheck President, Matthew Rodgers, summarizes: “Having limited options to socialize in bars and with friends means more Americans are drinking and/or using marijuana at home, which can impair users' judgment more than usual during these stressful times.”
