Jack Rabbit USA Offers Damage-Free Roadside Assistance for Collisions that Occur as a Result of Drunk Driving

    PENSECOLA, FL, July 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jack Rabbit USA provides quality roadside assistance in cities across America, including emergency roadside service for collisions that occur as a result of drunk driving.

Every day drunk drivers are on our roadways. And statistics show that they're the cause of approximately 40% of all fatalities resulting from automobile collisions. A fatality caused by drunk driving occurs in the US every 50 minutes.

One of the most important reasons to be aware of drunken driving statistics is because of young drivers. Automobile accidents are the leading cause of teen death, and one-third of those deaths are alcohol-related.

Jack Rabbit USA is available 24/7 for emergency roadside assistance, and calls for help are often related in some way to alcohol. The towing company urges drivers to be alert to the reality that drunk drivers are on the road and what to do if you believe you've encountered a drunk driver.

Drunk drivers are often the ones you see weaving across the roadways. They will often run into curbs, vehicles, or other objects. Drunk drivers brake erratically, and they use their turn signals in ways that aren't consistent with their driving maneuvers. Drunk drivers often straddle the center lane.

One of the dangers of drunk driving is that reaction time is impaired. The more a person drinks, the more impaired their driving. At a blood alcohol concentration level of .02, there's a decline in visual function and in the ability to adequately perform two tasks at once. Difficulty steering occurs at .05, and distorted perceptions along with other serious impairments occur by .08, which is the legal limit in many states.

If you spot a vehicle that appears to be driven by a drunk driver, put as much distance as possible between your vehicle and theirs. Never try to pass or pull over a vehicle that you suspect is being driven by an impaired driver; doing so could result in the need for emergency collision roadside service or worse.

If you see a vehicle that you feel has a driver who is endangering others on the roadway, make a note of the license plate number and contact the police. Include a description of the vehicle and the location. Taking this action could very well save lives.

Jack Rabbit USA is a complete Roadside Assistance solutions provider with the vision of delivering highly personalized service with obsessive attention to customer satisfaction.
