A survey by John Foy and Associates showed that Delaware had the nation’s lowest drunken driving arrest rate with 43 arrests per 100,000 drivers, while South Dakota had 879 arrests per 100,000.
The study also noted that Delaware drivers must get ignition interlock devices after their first offense — a rule to help prevent repeat violations.
