Answer 1

Drivers with a BAL of .15 are about 20 times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision than sober drivers. Correct answer: D

This estimation is made by the NHTSA which stands for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Drivers with a BAL of .05% are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision than drivers with no alcohol in their bloodstream and drivers with a BAL of .08% are estimated to be about nine times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision.
