Answer:

C. 22

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition to traffic violations, driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime, subject to the penalty of imprisonment from six months to three years, fine and suspension of driving license.

Driving under the influence of alcohol is very dangerous and can cause fatal accidents. This extremely dangerous practice is most observed among adolescents and young adults. The elderly are the part of the population that is rarely caught driving while under the influence of alcohol. In 2009, about 1 in 22 fatalities caused by alcohol accidents had drivers aged 65 or over.

Several studies attempt to interpret (and understand) the lifestyle of young people, and the motivations that lead to the tragic mixture of alcohol and driving. And there are some known reasons.

Among the group of friends, drinking is seen as a form of socialization. Another factor is financial, in addition to socially accepting the access of young people to drinking is getting easier. Not to mention, in the relationship difficulties that many have at home or at school and that end up triggering consumption. Motivations aside - more important than looking for culprits - is to find alternatives to change this reality.
