>assuming 99% of people are sober when driving, the single one percent is responsible for 25% of all accidents.
I hate this image. I know its bait but I know some people who genuinely believed that shit.
Its even more damning if you use a more realistic number, since I'm assuming in reality drunk drivers are a lot fewer than 1 in 100.

Leftists really REALLY hate the concept of per-capita. They've written articles about how it is racist and used to perpetuate negative stereotypes about minorities. So it's not surprising that they wouldn't understand how drunk drivers cause more accidents per-capita. These are the same people who love to point out that there are more white people using food stamps than black people without acknowledging that black people only make up about 13% of the population.

bro that image... you made a statistical mistake there. most people drive sober, so of course more crashes are going to be caused by sober people. however, if you proportion crash rate with being sober or not, you'd see that drunk drivers almost always crash.
