A Warning for Holiday Travel: Drinking and Driving | Drunk Driving Accident Attorney

During the holiday season, it’s a time to offer thanks, come together with your friends and family to celebrate the season, and enjoy the holiday celebrations. It’s a time of year when we look forward to celebration.  Sadly, holiday cheer can take the wrong turn when individuals who drink and drive cause accidents on the roadways.

Every November and December, auto accidents increase with alcohol consumption being involved. To minimize the tragic loss suffered during the holiday season, we at Murphy & Associates remind you to keep the following in mind:

If you are driving this holiday season, please be responsible for yourself and don’t drink. If you are drinking this holiday season, make sure you have a designated driver to take you home.

If you are planning to attend a holiday party, plan ahead of time to have a designated driver or stay at a hotel or motel nearby the party so you can walk to your destination.

If you are hosting a holiday party, be responsible in serving alcoholic beverages, such as making sure no one leaves and drives under the influence.

If you witness a drunk driver on the roadways at anytime, immediately call your local police department and report the driver’s behavior. Helping one another in keeping drunk drivers off the roadway saves lives.
