Title

  • Crash Data Reveals a High Percentage of Motorcyclists Driving Drunk on Illinois Roadways in Late Afternoon

Description

  • SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois State Police (ISP) and motorcycle safety advocates joined forces today to remind Illinois motorcyclists that mixing alcohol and motorcycle riding can lead to tragic results. The Ride Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign is paying close attention to motorcycle riders as Illinois crash data reveals the percentage of drunk motorcycle riders (motorcycle operators with a BAC of 0.08 or higher) involved in fatal crashes during late afternoon and early evening hours are more than double that of drunk drivers of any other type of passenger vehicle.
