car-accidentThe holidays are a time of celebration and homecoming. People will often drive long distances for the chance to share the holidays with friends and loved ones. The last thing anyone wants to worry about is getting into a traffic accident. Unfortunately, in Kentucky and around the country, a number of factors combine to make driving during the holiday season a risky proposition.

First off, the increased traffic around this time of year means a lot more cars will be on the road. And not just passenger vehicles. Thanks to all of the shopping that goes on, both online and in retail stores, the month of December sees a large uptick in commercial vehicles delivering packages.

The increased traffic couldn’t come at a worse time. Residents of Kentucky know that bad weather should be expected, including snowstorms, freezing rain, high winds, and other extreme weather events. The slick roads, reduced visibility, and other dangerous conditions lead to an increase in the number of collisions and injuries.

Most dangerous of all, the holiday parties that take place in December mean there are also more inebriated drivers on the road. To raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the holiday season, December has been designated the National Impaired Driving Prevention Month.

It’s imperative that drivers take extra care when dealing with the increased dangers on Kentucky roads and highways at holiday time, but sadly, no amount of precaution can keep you completely safe. It’s possible that through no fault of your own, you will find yourself the victim of a serious auto collision.
