As a Connecticut personal injury attorney with over three decades of experience, I've witnessed firsthand the heightened dangers that holiday driving brings. The period from Thanksgiving Eve to New Year's Day, while festive, unfortunately sees an increase in road-related incidents. In this blog, I'll shed light on the potential risks of holiday driving and share valuable tips on avoiding drunk driving, distracted driving, and navigating challenging weather conditions.

The Unseen Danger: Drunk Driving During the Holidays

Holiday celebrations often involve alcohol, leading to a surge in drunk driving incidents. Statistics reveal a shocking average of close to 650 people per day facing injuries or fatalities in alcohol-related accidents during this season. The consequences of driving under the influence can be devastating, not only for the impaired driver but for innocent victims on the road.

Avoidance Tips:

• Never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Designate a reliable driver if you plan to celebrate with friends or family.
• Use alternative transportation options like cabs, Uber, Lyft, or rideshare services if a designated driver is unavailable.
