Happy Memorial Day!
Author: Byron UdellToday marks the unofficial start of summer. According to stopimpaireddriving.org, the “100 Days of Summer” represent one of the most dangerous and deadliest times of year on the Nation’s highways. One big reason comes from the significant jump in alcohol-related traffic crashes and fatalities.
Increased alcohol use throughout the summer and particularly around major holiday weekends, beginning with Memorial Day, continuing through the 4th of July and ending with Labor Day, has made the “100 Days of Summer” a very grim season for law enforcement, emergency medical staff, highway safety officials, and the friends and families of impaired-driving victims.
According to the site, much of the tragedy that comes from alcohol-related crashes could be prevented if everyone would take a few simple precautions before going out to party in the summer.
Be safe and enjoy the day off with your family.
