No, I'm not referring to the book, album or film. Rather, I just found out that my home state is #1 for intoxicated driving in the U.S.A. In other words, if I'm not dead already, I will be soon. Yikes!

Re: Wisconsin Death Trip
You mean that in WI police are more effective at catching them. Which is a good thing. Or maybe people are more honest, or more attention seeking. It is also possible that, in a random sample, a higher amount of drink driving households was chosen in WI than in other states. So many possibilities.
My personal WI driving experience is reduced to a 2 hr dash from Madison to O'Hare - pedal to the metal, the works - but I haven't seen that many drunk driving related accidents at all. Then again, maybe my standard is flexible, since I live in Ireland...
My point is, how reliable are those statistics?

Clearly it's a biased study. They most likely included DUIs on snowmobiles.

Re: Wisconsin Death Trip
Hmm, how does that make it any better? People get killed on their snowmobiles all the dang winter, and it's usually 'cause they're drunk.

I have over the last 5 monthes spent a lot of time in four out of five of those states. I wonder how many railroaders they surveyed? IN fact I will be in Wisconsin Monday......No, I'm not referring to the book, album or film. Rather, I just found out that my home state is #1 for intoxicated driving in the U.S.A.

If it makes you feel better, I live next to one of the deadliest highways in Washington.
College drivers and narrow winding roads don't mix.
You're right Lemur - this is pretty sad. Poor Wisconsin.
