OUI Facts

Impaired driving is one of the most serious traffic risks facing the nation, killing thousands every year. According to NHTSA, significant reductions in the number of alcohol-related traffic deaths occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s, but progress has since been slow.   More than 16,000 people were killed nationwide in alcohol-related crashes in 2005. In 2006 in Maine, 10,569 people were arrested for operating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

The charts below represent data for Maine’s OUI offenses through 1998. Please refer to them for further specific OUI facts and statistics.
