Bob Perkell Speaks Out
Bob's been stupid too! He's a LOT smarter now, but it was a tough road to sobriety. Bob doesn't want you to drink and drive either. Let him tell you with his own peculiar slant. WARNING: Bob is a comedian. Bob is an adult. Bob may not be safe for work!
Service Directories - What they are and how to use them
In the top right corner of every page at our website (except the blog until we figure it out) sits a little blue form labeled "Service Directories". This is your gateway to services you can use to plan a safe night out, learn more about alcoholism, and get help if you are arrested for drunk driving. You'll find county-level local listings for the services you need.
1. Choose a Service from the dropdown 2. Enter your Zip Code 3. Click the "Get It!" Button
Our DUI Avoidance Lesson Plan makes it clear that you need to KNOW YOUR OPTIONS at all times. You want to make a plan and stick to the plan. Before you party, make sure you know the number of a taxi and where the hotels are. Heck, you might even want to go all out and get a limo!
You may have deeper concerns than drunk driving and may need more information and help. Service Directories for "Alcohol Prevention" and "Community Groups" can put you in touch with organizations to serve your needs.
If you've gotten a DUI, we want to help you too. If you've had a DUI, you may look at our website as many do and say, "I wish I had come here BEFORE I drove drunk!" Since you didn't, you might need Bail, an Attorney, new (SR-22) Auto Insurance, or Traffic School, even Rehab. All these services are accessible through our Service Directories.
County Level Statistics and Resources
The DrinkingAndDriving.Org Home Page is dominated by our DUI Arrest Rate Map. This map is actually a report card on the drunk driving habits across the country. DrinkingAndDriving.Org has graded every state and every county in the U.S.A. based on detailed statistics we've compiled on DUI arrest rates as well as DUI-related fatalities.
You can see how many people out of every 10,000 are arrested for DUI in your state by hovering your mouse over it. A link above the map allows you to switch to the DUI Fatality Rates Map where again, you find a similar color-coded grading scheme has been applied again to every state and every county.
By drilling down to your County Page, you can see actual numbers of DUI arrests and fatalities in your county across a range of years.
The County Page also features The Penalty Box where you can find out what the DMV/DOT penalties are in your state for DUI.
At the bottom of The County Page is another way into the Service Directories for your county, as well as a link to your State's DMV/DOT website.
