‘Tis the season for holiday cheer. From work parties, to family gatherings, there is a lot of holiday cheer in the air this time of year. But too much cheer can lead to dangers on the roadways.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that December is the most dangerous month for drunk driving accidents.
In addition, the amount of road traffic also increases as drivers rush to shopping malls or holiday parties. Parking lots are more crowded than usual which also adds to the headaches.
It is important, especially during this time of year, to slow down. Watch your pace. Maintain a defensive approach and be aware of the drivers around you. This defensive driving tactic can help decrease crashes.
If you are involved in a crash, it is important to contact a personal injury lawyer immediately after seeking medical attention. We can help. Give us a call at 706-738-7111 and experience the Durham Bray Way.
