Throughout the years the Friedland | Carmona has noticed an increase in car accidents occurring at the turn of the calendar year due to alcohol related accidents on New Year’s Eve and January 1st early morning. As such, we would like to advise you to please be careful while celebrating the New Year. Remember that if you are going to be drinking please make sure to have a designated driver or call a taxi. Also, it is important to drive with caution on the night of New Year’s Eve since others around you may be drinking and driving.

Car accidents are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for all age groups from 1 to 34 years of age. Almost half of these fatal car accidents are alcohol related–32%. During the holiday period alcohol related car accident fatalities tend to be higher than that during the non-holiday period.

In 2008, 11,773 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. In 2008 over 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.” – Department of Transportation (U.S.).
