Regular readers of our blog know that we often share information about road dangers to be aware of. Because the holidays are typically when more Americans are on the road than at any other time of year, we’re going to take a quick look at the dangerous Ds of driving: drinking and drugs, distractions, drowsiness.
Each D can lead to motor vehicle crashes that result in serious injuries or fatalities.
According to the federal government’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly all traffic wrecks are due to human error (94 percent). Because our streets and highways are going to be extra busy during the holidays, it’s time to be extra careful to ensure that you and your loved ones arrive safely.
Please be careful and please enjoy your holidays with family and friends.
Those who are harmed by a distracted, drowsy or drunk driver should contact a skilled lawyer experienced in personal injury litigation.
