Mothers Against Drunk Driving

Driving services such as Uber have recently been credited with reducing the number of drunken driving incidents across the country, according to a report by the University of Texas Health Science Center.

A new study has revealed evidence to show that the increased use of ride-hailing services such as Uber has had a large impact on reducing traumatic injuries due to motor vehicle accidents.

A first-of-its-kind study shows that on Friday and Saturday nights in Houston, traumatic injuries from motor vehicle crashes have decreased by 24% and ride-hailing services can take some of the credit.
