Ordinary road-safety and public-order offenses concerning the operation of a motor vehicle and related alcohol-driven risk to public safety, a narrower and more routinely prosecuted category than this subcategory's other groups. This group gathers driving under the influence and its jurisdictional variants including drunk driving, dangerous driving as defined most fully in United Kingdom law, the general category of a moving traffic violation, and alcohol-related crime as a broader category covering both alcohol-specific offenses and offenses, such as drunk driving, that occur more often alongside alcohol use.
