That's an increase of 9.1 percent in Arizona, while the national number fell almost 1 percent, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's latest report on alcohol-related fatalities. "Arizona is the fastest-growing state in the country now. . . . But it's not an excuse for more impaired drivers on the road," said Michael Hegarty, spokesman for the Governor's Office of Highway Safety.The NHTSA also tracks fatal accidents in which drivers, cyclists or pedestrians have a blood-alcohol content of at least 0.01 percent. That increased 0.1 percent nationally and 15.2 percent in Arizona from 2005 to 2006. |

| Well if you are driving without a license and you disregard U.S. laws in general, driving drunk doesn't seem that bad. So I would say probably, but no way they would say that in a newspaper. |

| I tried to find a report of demographics for fatal car crashes in AZ but had no luck. Seeing that Texas is on the list as well you might have a point here... |
