Planning to drink? Don’t plan to drive.
On July 4th, America celebrates the birth of our nation. Sadly, the holiday is often marked as one of the deadliest of the year for drunk-driving crashes. Increased parties usually mean more drunk drivers on the roads, which can turn a celebratory afternoon into a tragedy. The decision to not drink and drive should never be a tough one – don’t make the choice to put yourself and others at risk.
