With being on the eve of New Year's Eve, a lot of people have already started their New Years celebrations. Please everyone, take that extra minute and grab the keys from someone that has had something to drink. It may end in confrontation, but that will be dissolved the next day. And I would rather have a nights worth of confrontation on my hands than someone's death or crippledness due to me not taking action.
So many lives are lost due to buzzed/drunk driving. Senseless and sad. So please take the time and do your part to save a life or lives this New Years season.
In 2008, nearly 12,000 people in the U.S. were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes - and during the periods around Christmas and New Year's, this number was particularly high, with 316 people killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. In 2007, 162,493 women were arrested for a DUI, an increase of almost 29% since 1998. You can't help but wonder if lives could have been saved if people thought twice before getting behind the wheel. With the holidays approaching, it's important that drivers be reminded about the dangers of buzzed driving. Who knows...it could save a life.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) and the Ad Council are asking everyone to drive smart this holiday season and to pledge not to drive buzzed.
