Christmas, Happy New Year and Safe Driving

This is the time of year where people get together with family and friends. There are parties and shopping and not seems like not enough time to get it all done. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy and Safe New Years. Here are some basic safety rules - First: If you have a drink - don't drive. It is not worth it to you, your family or the others your actions may impact. I recently spend an afternoon deposing a man who will spend the next 15 years (minimum) of his life in prison for driving while drunk and killing a young girl. He destroyed his life and the life of another family by his drinking and driving. Second: Do not text or check your phone while driving. The message can wait until you stop or pull over. In that second you look down the car in front of you can stop resulting in a wreck. That will cause you and other driver to have to exchange information and get your cars repaired even if you are lucky enough to have no one injured. That same second of inattention could result in your destroying your life and those of others. If you are in the mall parking lot and look down to check a text how can you see the people walking out in front of you. Don't risk it. Keep focused on your driving, be safe and enjoy Christmas and New Years.
