Tie One On For Safety The holidays are one of the most dangerous times on our nation’s roadways, with more people traveling, an increased number of festivities where alcohol is served, and a surge in drunk driving. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve in 2015, there were 973 drunk driving fatalities across the country, more than 23 people a day for 6 weeks. The Madison Alliance Addressing Substance Abuse, MAASA, urges the public to plan ahead to have a designated driver if plans include alcohol.
