In the United States, it is estimated that there is an alcohol-impaired fatality every 48 minutes. Drunken driving is one of the leading causes of automobile accidents. Driving anywhere drunk or buzzed can lead to fatal accidents, but yet people think they are fine to drive. Having a blood alcohol concentration over 0.08% is considered to be legally impaired. Your vision and mind are not in the best state to see straight or the people around you, especially during nighttime.

Take some precautions and plan your night. If you know that you will be celebrating at night with drinks, plan to not drive. If you have consumed too much, give your keys to someone you trust to ensure you do not get behind the wheel. If you are going out with a group of friends, have a designated driver. Take advantage of all the security measurements that have been put in place to prevent any sort of drunken driving. One measure Hupy and Abraham has taken is partnering with SafeRide in an effort to prevent drunken driving.

SafeRide has been helping hundreds by offering free rides home to patrons of participating establishments. By informing a staff member at the establishment that they are in need of a ride, the staff member will get and escort them to a cab. Hupy and Abraham is committed to preventing accidents in Wisconsin and has partnered up with this program because it has been very successful in preventing drunken driving.

Stay safe and enjoy your summer. And, if for any reason, you or a loved one is injured due to the negligence of a drunk driver this summer, contact the experienced attorneys of Hupy and Abraham.
