California’s DUI Numbers Tell A Complicated Road Safety Story
Understanding California’s DUI Arrest Scale: California consistently ranks among the top U.S. states for total DUI arrests due to its large population and extensive road network. Depending on the data source and year, annual DUI arrest figures have ranged widely, from over 125,000 to more than 590,000. In recent years, many official reports place the number below 200,000. These figures still represent a significant public safety issue affecting communities statewide.
