How Impaired Drivers Affect Others As we discussed earlier in this chapter, alcohol and drugs can have devastating effects upon families and friends of an addict. This section will deal with the effect that the impaired driver has on us. It would be great if your decision not to drive impaired made you perfectly safe on the roadways. Driving sober is the smart thing to do, and most importantly it is the legal thing to do, but you still have to understand that there are many people on the road every day that are impaired behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. In Florida there were 23,578 alcohol related crashes in the year 2000.[1]
