In 2022, of the total of 854 drivers who died in accidents and underwent autopsy and toxicological analysis, 443 tested positive for alcohol, drugs and psychotropic drugs, that is, more than half.

Alcohol is present as a factor in a third of fatal accidents. Its presence in driving, depending on its rate, multiplies the risk of having an accident by between two and 15. In addition to being related to a higher probability of accidents, alcohol consumption also has an impact on higher mortality, due to the worse prognosis of the injuries suffered, according to Europa Press.
