DUI ARRESTS ARE PLUMMETING IN SOUTH FLORIDA ccording to reporting from the Miami Herald, the number of drunk driving arrests in South Florida has dropped precipitously over the past few years. From 2013 to 2017, the number of DUI arrests made by the Miami-Dade Police Department fell by an astonishing 65 percent. Over the same time period, the number of drunk driving arrests made by the Miami Police Department dropped by a less impressive, but still significant 31 percent.
It is unclear as to what exactly is causing the overall reduction in DUI arrests in Miami. Some other cities around the country have reported similar results, though there are also plenty of exceptions. There is some evidence to suggest that the prevalence of ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft are the primary reason for the change. It could also be a sign that public safety and awareness campaigns are making a positive impact.
