Drunk driving is a serious crime in Ohio with serious consequences including jail time, hefty fines and the potential to take a life in an Ohio drunk driving car accident.

But please remember that if you cause serious injuries as a result of your drunk driving, you can also be held civilly responsible for the injuries, damages and losses you cause as a result of your actions. The fact is that DUI accidents are entirely preventable. Do not get behind the wheel when you are under the influence. It’s as simple as that. There are many options available to drivers including taxicab services or special Tipsy Tow services during the holidays. These are tragedies that can certainly be averted.

Here are some tips to help avoid alcohol related accidents during the holidays:

• Use cabs, taxis and town cars. It’s worth paying the money
• Drive carefully even if you are sober. Watch out for those who are driving erratically. If you suspect someone is driving drunk, please report them to the authorities. You may have helped save a life.
