The holidays, especially the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, are a prime time for auto accidents relating to drunk driving in Ohio.
In fact, 38 percent of all wrongful deaths from auto accidents are alcohol-related and repeat drunk drivers are responsible for almost 60 percent of those alcohol-related deaths.
The holiday season is one of the deadliest times of the year for alcohol-related car accidents in northwest Ohio. According to Mothers against Drunk Driving, more than 1,000 people die nationwide during Thanksgiving to New Year’s drunk driving car crashes. There is no question that this is due to the increased consumption of alcohol during the holiday season.
Here are a few ways that you can help prevent Ohio drunk driving car accidents:
- Always choose a designated driver
- If you cannot find a designated driver or a friend to drive you home, stay the night.
- Never get in a vehicle with a drunk driver
