Warmer months bring on more drunk driving incidents
Here in Michigan I know everyone is excited to see warmer weather, myself included. Unfortunately the spring and summer months also tend to bring an increased number of drunk driving incidents. Memorial Day is the official start of summer.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 397 people died over the three-day weekend in 2010, the latest year for which data is available. Of those crashes, 40 percent were alcohol-related.
The NIAAA pamphlet, “Rethinking Holiday Drinking,” recommends that people who do decide to drink should not have more than one drink per hour.
So as you start to enjoy the coming warmer months, remember to be safe and smart about how you decide to ring in the summer.
