I doubt those thousands of daily users all get in their cars and drive home. Most coke users probably sold their car for a couple of baggies a long time ago.
On a more serious note whilst this is good news the fact remains alcohol causes more accidents and Road deaths than all illegal drugs combined.

traffic accidents are still a leading cause of alcohol-related deaths among young men aged 16 to 24.
In 2010, nearly 10,000 reported road casualties happened when a driver was over the legal alcohol limit representing 5% of all road casualties (2).

During 2011, at least 640 accidents were caused by drug-drivers using both illegal and medicinal substances.
The Department of Transport statistics - the most recent available - included 49 deaths.
