Are Some Cities Built to Encourage Drunk Driving?
A look at which major U.S. cities have the most fatal car crashes per capita.
After last week’s geography of drunk driving post, a number of readers were eager to see more specific data relating to cities.
The author of that map, John Nelson of IDV Solutions' UX blog, has been at work on that very issue.
