The Dangers Of Thanksgiving Travel
December 01, 2013 | Posted in FYI
Increased Chance Of A Car Accident
People throughout Oklahoma are about to hit the road for Thanksgiving travel. The number of fatality and other injury accidents dramatically increase during the holidays, as the number of vehicles, fatigued, and intoxicated drivers on the road increases. At Wandres Law, we want to remind Thanksgiving travelers to be safe and take extra caution when on the road during this long holiday weekend. Avoid driving at night whenever possible, plan your route well, take precaution if you may encounter bad weather, and most importantly, don’t add to the problem by drinking and driving!
Thanksgiving Exceeds All Other Holidays For Fatal Drunk Driving Accidents
According to AAA, approximately forty million people will travel at least fifty miles or more this weekend for Thanksgiving. It’s hardly surprising that this long weekend exceeds all other holiday periods for fatal drunk driving accidents. Although local and state law enforcement attempt to step up DUI checkpoints during this weekend, many alcohol-related accidents still occur.
