Drunk Driving During Spring Break in New York

While it seems like a lot of fun partying and enjoying a holiday, Spring Break is one of the most dangerous times of the year to be on the road. This is a time when there is more drinking and also drunk driving, which means that there is a significant increase in drunk driving accidents.

While car accidents can happen any time of the year, Spring Break is a time when there are more drivers on the road, and a lot of these drivers are likely to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This increases the risk of injuries as a result of car accidents. Because there is an increase in impaired drivers during this time of the year, it also means that the likelihood of a serious or fatal accident is higher.
