One quarter of traffic fatalities alcohol related

Most people know that drunk driving is dangerous, yet there were more than 1,000 deaths in Texas from DUI/alcohol-related crashes in 2024. That means three people were lost every day because a driver ignored the risks.

“Making the choice to drive drunk instead of finding a sober ride home can and does lead to serious consequences,” TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said. “No one wants to live the rest of their life knowing they caused the death of another person on the road, and no one is impervious to the dangers of driving impaired.”

TxDOT’s “Drive Sober. No Regrets” campaign and the traveling Faces of Drunk Driving video exhibit will showcase first-person testimonials from drunk-driving offenders and survivors. These emotional stories demonstrate the real, tangible consequences associated with drunk driving. It’s a vivid reminder that there’s a story behind every Texan on the road, but when people choose to drive drunk, those stories can be cut short.
