No. You may have been reading too many MADD reports.
The majority of car accidents are from inattentive drivers.
Switching lanes without looking, not paying attention and running into the car in front of you, talking on the phone, playing with the radio, eating an egg mcmuffin in rush hour, putting on makeup, searching in the backseat for something while still driving, running red lights - need I say more?
Most drunk drivers are driving at night. Most car accidents are during high traffic periods which are between 6am and 6pm.
This is not based on any statistics - but rather from logging a couple of million miles over the last 25 years or so.
