2025, the fatality rate of DUI is 31.

To give you some context how small that is, in 2025, there's an estimated 550,000 accidents reported.

500,000+ of them involved cars.

Only 6,537 of these reports were fatal and caused death for all vehicles.

1,373 of these cases involved cars.

31 of 1,373 are deaths due to DUI in Malaysia.

PDRM Facebook daily updates (Not gonna promote their Facebook here)

Most DUI reports only involve the drivers wrecking their own cars and didn't actually hurt anyone (1,200 reports). Yes any number of DUI is bad. But it also isn't as bad as some people say it is.

Meanwhile Motorcyclists 2/3 of all road fatalities in Malaysia involve motorcycles. (4,340). And most of these deaths involve wreckless driving on the Motorcyclists part.

When people talk about road accidents, and rempits here, there are always people trying to change the topic and throw "But DUI". It's not like we don't enforce the law. It's not like we don't care. We do. But not to the degree that some people try to paint it as.

Death because of DUI isn't as prominent as you think it is. It's not. You're more likely to run someone over being sober than drunk based on these stats. Not that you should try. It means that people have enough common sense not to drive while drunk or under the influence of drugs.

So 1,200 out of an est of 500,000+ accident reports a year are for DUI.

31 out of 1,373 of confirmed fatalities are from DUI.

Not saying those 31 lives don't matter, but acting like DUI is an everyday accurance is just misleading and painting a false narrative on minorities.

I'm not defending DUI. Just stop changing other traffic topics to DUI as if it's the big bad wolf. The fatality of DUI have been down for nearly a decade now that it's the lowest cause of death on the road. Also, people, please work on that 1,200 DUI reports can ya? Even if you don't crash into people or kill someone, it's still fucking risky and dangerous. Stop it. Have a friend to drive you home or something. If you don't have friends, make some.
