Concluding RemarksWhile the statistics are improving, there are still many
DUI tragedies in the United States.These statistics only address fatalities while related
injuries could range from mild to lifetime injuries.Under 21 statistics are improving, but these people
should not even be drinking at all so the statistics are unacceptable overall.
Certain states (i.e., Texas) are very problematic still in terms of DUI deaths overall and for Under 21 statistics.
This Ethics topic is important for Accounting students (especially auditors) because driving is a significant part of the job … being involved as either a perpetrator or victim can seriously affect careers.
