No sympathy for drunk drivers. A non-intoxicated driver would slow down in a more risky driving environment.

Unless they were distracted by a phone, the radio, a passenger, putting on make-up, etc.

Or fatigued.

Non-intoxicated drivers do slow down in less forgiving environments though.

It isn't that accidents are impossible but the impact speed if you were doing 30 mph is livable. If you were drunk doing 60 mph it wouldn't be.
