IN 2024, 9,100 OLDER ADULTS WERE KILLED IN TRAFFIC CRASHES, AND OVER 270,000 WERE TREATED IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS FOR CRASH INJURIES. THIS MEANS THAT EACH DAY, 25 OLDER ADULTS ARE KILLED AND OVER 740 ARE INJURED IN CRASHES.

MANY WERE SPACING OUT AND/OR ON MEDICATION THAT ALTERS PERCEPTION AND REACTION TIME MORE THAN HAVING 0.08% BLOOD ALCOHOL CONTENT DOES... AND THAT'S THE LEGAL LIMIT IN MOST OF THE USA.*

*THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S OK TO DRINK AND DRIVE, IDIOT...THIS JUST MEANS THAT ONCE AGAIN, A BIGGER ISSUE IS TAKING PLACE AND BEING OVERLOOKED. YOU SHOULD BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT SECOND PART. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PUBLICATION, TALK SHIT, EXAGGERATE, AND MAKE THINGS UP!
