          It’s per 1000 drivers (at least in OP’s example). Doesn’t matter how many are on the road that’s factored out.

      BMW vs RAM for DUI, my guess: location location location.

      Demographics would likely (guess) lean towards the same type of driver in different locales. One where drinking and driving “is just a thing people do” and one where its more enforced.
