~0.5 micromorts. 5 micromorts. Like 5 flights, or taking the train 5,000 km. Estimate.

Mortmeter: No upside. Don't. All risk, zero view.

Assuming: About 10 km, over the limit.

How we got this: 10 km by car is about 0.03. Being over the limit multiplies crash risk roughly 5 to 20 times, plus the risk you put on others.

What gets you: Crash, Killing someone else, Prison.

Cheaper version: Taxi. 100% cheaper, and you keep your licence.
