People in Michigan celebrate New Year’s Eve just like everyone else – with parties and dinners and drinks to toast the turning of the calendar. Unlike many parts of the country, however, Michigan is unique for its relentless winter climate. Combining the perils of NYE drinking and revelry with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can lead to fatal car accidents.
Michigan is no stranger to bad weather. New Year’s Eve can sometimes be one of the worst nights of the year for low temps, precipitation, and freezing in this part of the country. While the last thing you may want to do is cancel or rearrange your New Year’s plans because of inconvenient weather conditions, this is sometimes the safest thing you can do. Putting yourself out in the elements because you don’t want to miss a get-together or big party is a major risk.
You may think that you can just go out for a little bit and get home before any bad weather strikes, but braving newly developing winter weather conditions while intoxicated is still dangerous. Any amount of intoxication can create a horrific result. Combine drunk driving with distracted driving and the likelihood of a fatal crash rises exponentially.
If you simply cannot imagine New Year’s Eve without a celebratory drink or two, plan to protect yourself from any possibility of a car crash:
As always, you can control how you behave but you cannot control how others behave behind the wheel. There will be drunk drivers riding alongside you, and they will be distracted, drowsy, and facing the elements just like every other motorist.
