Tie One On For Safety This Holiday Season

As the holidays approach in due fashion, many folks will be traveling to spend time with family, friends, and enjoy all that this time of year offers. Unfortunately, it is a proven fact that this time of year is also a time of year where drunk driving is on the rise. Last year, more that 12,000 people were killed in crashes involving blood alcohol limits greater than the legal limit of .08. Sadly, Texas generally leads all of our nation’s states in alcohol related vehicle crashes. About every 20 minutes in Texas…someone is hurt or killed in a crash involving alcohol. One crash is simply too many!

Each year during the holiday season, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) conducts its “Tie One On For Safety” public awareness initiative to encourage all to “Drive Safe, Sober and Buckled Up.” The campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving, and promotes always wearing your seatbelt, which remains the best defense against a drunk driver.
