DUIMap: Find out United States hotspots for drinking and driving fatalities

duimap DUIMap: Find out United States hotspots for drinking and driving fatalities

No matter where you are in the world, it’s the weekend or it soon will be.  For a lot of us that means it’s time to sit back, relax, and have a few cold ones.  But with drinking comes responsibility, so if you’re planning on driving around smashed out of your skull tonight, check out DUI Map, created by MapLarge, first.

The site is a heat map of the United States showing the concentration of fatal drinking and driving accidents.  The map, which draws on the Google Maps Flash API and data from the National Traffic Safety Administration (NTSA), can also be viewed state by state.

I find it interesting that the eastern half of the US appears to have significantly more DUI fatalities than it western counterpart.  Why is that?
