• Abstract:
  Drivers are considered to be alcohol-impaired when their blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) are .08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or higher. Thus, any fatal crash involving a driver with a BAC of .08 g/dL or higher is considered to be an alcohol-impaired-driving crash, and fatalities occurring in those crashes are considered to be alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities. The term "drunk driving" is used instead of alcohol-impaired driving in some other NHTSA communications and material. The term "driver" refers to the operator of any motor vehicle, including a motorcycle.
