Los Angeles ranks #3 in DUI rates

When you think of Los Angeles, what comes to mind? The glitz and glamour of Hollywood, the endless sunshine, or maybe the gridlocked freeways? But there’s something else that’s casting a shadow over the City of Los Angeles – its high DUI rates. According to LendingTree, Los Angeles has the third-highest DUI rate among the 50 largest U.S. cities, with a staggering 1.12 DUIs per 1,000 drivers. 🥴

So, what does this mean for the average Angeleno? Well, for starters, it’s a wake-up call to be more mindful about drinking and driving. It’s easy to think you’re fine after a couple of drinks, but the stats tell a different story.

And it’s not just about avoiding a ticket or a night in jail. A DUI can have long-lasting consequences on your life, from increased insurance rates to potential job loss and, most importantly, the risk of causing harm to yourself or others.

So, what can you do? Plan ahead. If you know you’ll be drinking, arrange for a designated driver, or use a rideshare service. It’s a small step that can make a huge difference.
