Road Construction and Accident Hazards

Road construction is often a bittersweet thing. On the one hand, it is great because it means that necessary repairs are being made to fix the roadway. On the other hand, it often means that lanes are closed and that there will be traffic jams and even confusion.

Why is Road Rage on the Rise in Atlanta?

Unfortunately, we have seen a spike in road rage incidents lately in Atlanta, GA. Road rage is defined as when a driver feels violent anger while operating a vehicle due to the conditions and other drivers around them on the road. Oftentimes this might lead to people yelling, honking, or giving someone the middle finger. However, in some cases, drivers will take it to an extreme and dangerous level and will actually engage in a physical altercation with another driver.

Hazards of Drunk Driving

We have all heard the phrase “Don’t drink and drive”, and most of us have that ingrained in our minds and make a conscious effort never to drive if we have been drinking. Whether you have a designated driver who is sober, or if you walk home, or if you call a cab or ride-sharing driver, there are plenty of options that allow you to get home safely.

Avoid Illegal Contact While Driving During Super Bowl Weekend

In the NFL, a safety results in a team getting two points, which can help them to win the game. In real life, safety means that you get home to your family without injury. As Super Bowl VIII approaches, festivities and celebrations often accompany the big game, bringing friends and families together for parties and gatherings. However, with the excitement and socializing come potential risks, particularly when it comes to driving under the influence (DUI) and road safety.

Lloyd H. Thomas Law is a law firm specializing in personal injury cases, many of which revolve around car accidents as the result of drunk driving. Let’s discuss some ways to stay safe this February and to avoid accidents on Super Bowl Sunday.

Drunk Driving on Super Bowl Sunday

The Super Bowl is known for an increase in alcohol consumption. Whether people are going out to bars to watch the big game or congregating at a friend’s Super Bowl party, beer and other alcohol is often a staple of those celebrations. Therefore, it's crucial to address the potential dangers associated with impaired driving during this time.

One of the main concerns during Super Bowl parties is the consumption of alcohol, which can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction times. Individuals attending these gatherings may be tempted to get behind the wheel after having a few drinks, putting themselves and others at risk. Law enforcement agencies often increase patrols and conduct sobriety checkpoints around major events like the Super Bowl to deter and catch impaired drivers.

How to Host a Safe Super Bowl LVIII Event

The legal consequences of a DUI conviction can be severe, including fines, license suspension, and even imprisonment, underscoring the importance of responsible decision-making. To enhance road safety during Super Bowl parties, hosts can play a crucial role by promoting responsible drinking and offering alternative transportation options. Designated drivers, rideshare services, or public transportation can be viable alternatives to driving under the influence.

Hosting parties with non-alcoholic beverage options and arranging accommodations for guests who may be unable to drive can contribute to a safer environment. Public awareness campaigns leading up to the Super Bowl can also remind individuals of the potential consequences of impaired driving and encourage them to plan ahead for a safe journey home. Emphasizing personal responsibility and community well-being can help reduce the number of DUI incidents and contribute to a safer road environment during the Super Bowl festivities.

As the excitement builds for the Super Bowl, it is essential to prioritize road safety and discourage driving under the influence. Responsible choices, non-alcoholic beverage options, designated drivers, and alternative transportation options can all contribute to a safer celebration, ensuring that the joy of the game is not overshadowed by the tragic consequences of impaired driving.
