Missouri drunk drivers pose threat on July 4th. Protect yourself.
Everyone loves celebrating July 4th. Sadly, this weekend is also the most dangerous time to drive on America’s roads. Statistically, July 3rd and 4th are the two deadliest days of the year to drive. On average, 161 people are killed each year on July 4th in car accidents nationwide, making Independence Day the deadliest day on America’s highways. But serious accidents can happen at any time, especially during the summer months on busy highways like Missouri’s Interstate 44. That’s why Missouri State Police will be stepping up enforcement efforts this weekend.
The July 4th holiday also ranks near the top for alcohol sales each year nationwide. Statistically, this holiday ranks number one – ahead of Labor Day, New Year’s Eve and Memorial Day – for beer consumption nationwide.
Not surprisingly, drunk driving can be a serious hazard facing people on the road this holiday weekend. What can you do to protect yourself? How will you stay safe on the road this July 4th?
If you don’t have to travel this weekend, we advise staying off the road. If you must travel to get to your holiday destination, travel on days other than July 3rd or 4th. Or at the very least, drive during daylight hours. Statistically, fatal accidents involving drunk drivers are more than four times as likely to occur at night versus during the day.
