About 1 percent of all traffic deaths are attributed to marijuana-alone-impaired driving. Marijuana and other drugs are factors in about 18 percent of vehicle driver deaths. Marijuana often teams with alcohol in those deaths.
Alcohol? It accounts for 32 percent of traffic deaths. Don't know whether that is alcohol-alone, but I believe that might not be just alcohol-alone.
But then again, I did find a website saying alcohol was found in 52 percent of driver fatalities, so maybe that is the figure for alcohol when other drugs are also involved. Fifty-two percent! That is a whopping percentage and makes a strong statement as to the damaging affects of alcohol.
