AAA: One In 10 Admits To Driving Drunk

When it comes to accidents involving drunk drivers, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are more than two and a half times more dangerous than the average day.

WASHINGTON - Have you ever driven drunk? One out of 10 drivers admits to doing so in the past year.
 
That sobering statistic comes from a new survey from AAA Mid-Atlantic.
 
The same survey indicates that 87 percent of drivers surveyed consider drunk drivers a serious threat.
 
Calling it a "confession from the soul," AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesman John B. Townsend II says drivers are hypocrites about drinking and driving.
 
"We know what's right, but we still do what's wrong," Townsend says.
 
Townsend says New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are more than two and a half times more dangerous than the average day.
