A city known for its notorious traffic congestion, LA is also home to drink-and-drivers at a proportion 8 percent higher than the national average—not as bad as some of its Southern California neighbors. Furthermore, although over 25 percent of the county’s crashes involve alcohol impairment, this proportion is still not as high as those in the California cities of San Diego (29 percent) and San Jose (30 percent).
