North Dakota Ranks Third in Nation for DUI Rate, LendingTree Study Finds
North Dakota has the third-highest rate of driving under the influence in the nation, with two DUI incidents per 1,000 drivers, according to a LendingTree study reported Nov. 11. Wyoming ranked first at 2.4 per 1,000 drivers and Nebraska second at 2.2; Iowa was fourth at 1.9. Four of the top ten states are in the Midwest. Researchers said rural distances, limited public transportation and harsh winters contribute to the region's elevated rates.
State officials in Bismarck, Burleigh County, said enforcement and education campaigns continue, and they urged drivers to plan a sober ride, especially during the holiday season.
