Chicago DUI lawyer sees vehicle profiling coming soon to DUI arrests

This Chicago DUI lawyer recently cited a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study here and here. There's even more information to mine from that study of drunk driving. It looks like cars are far less likely to have drunk drivers versus pickup trucks and motorcyclists.


Substantial differences were observed in the percentage of drivers with illegal BACs by vehicle type. Motorcycle riders were more than twice as likely as passenger car drivers to have had BACs > 0.08 g/dL (5.6% compared to 2.3%). Pickup truck drivers were the next most likely vehicle type to have illegal BACs (3.3%).

Somehow I suspect the insurance cabal will be using this information to raise the premiums on pickup trucks and motorcyclists.
