Today is one of the days everyone will talk about how many people died in car accidents last night, and nothing will be done about it. (lemmy.world)

At least in the US. Hopefully other countries do better.

I'll never forget one of the dumbest things I've heard. Person in charge of the "orientation meeting" for exchange students at UCSB said with a straight face to the group of about 30 foreigners:

It's important that you don't drink and driver, as you can get a big fine.

Are you sure that's the reason?

Living in Norway, It's been 15 years since I heard of someone I know, know someone who drunk drove. Likely a very different experience in other social circles, or other parts of the country (coughFinnmarkcough) , but I would say it's definitely a cultural difference.
