Don’t let the holidays be ruined by drinking and driving. “The holidays are a time to be especially alert for drunk drivers because alcohol-related accidents traditionally go up this time of year” says Ottawa personal injury attorney, Ottawa accident lawyer David Hollingsworth. “It’s a special time of year that brings many parties and festive occasions when alcohol is served during the holidays,” says David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Accident Lawyer “This unfortunately also brings about more alcohol related Ottawa accidents. Drinking and driving is never agood idea. It’s illegal and too often, it’s deadly.” “We are very fortunate in Ottawa that we have many resources available to us to help prevent drinking and driving such as taxi services and responsible choice.”

It seems that the rates for drinking and driving is on the decline, which is great. Still,there are Ottawa accidents and deaths every year that are alcohol related and could be avoided and that’s tragic.

A disproportionate number of alcohol-related fatal crashes occur during the holidays, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study suggests. The 2007 NHTSA study, which analyzed five years of national traffic data, found that the number of alcohol-related fatalities on the nation’s highways averaged 45 deaths per day during the Christmas period and 54 deaths per day during the New Year’s holiday, compared to 36 deaths per day the rest of the year.

Alcohol-related deaths have been declining nationwide since 1982 due to tougher laws and stepped-up police enforcement. “Enjoy a safe holiday with family and friends,” David Hollingsworth, Ottawa Accident Lawyer says. “If you choose to drink, designate a sober driver or call a cab. It could save a life.”
