Holiday Safety
Please be careful driving during the holiday season
Good morning. This is Dr. Joe Cincotta. I want to focus this morning on two auto safety issues. The first is drinking and driving. This is a season of many parties. A part of some of these celebrations is alcohol. We have all heard about the dangers of mixing alcohol and driving, but we continue to experience the consequences of failing to heed this advice. I don"t know if another reminder will help, but I will make the effort. Please do not drink alcohol and then drive. None of us is immune to having an accident and being seriously injured or killed as a result of drinking and driving. The second issue is using a cell phone while driving. Driving during the holiday season is challenging enough without the distraction of a cell phone. If your call cannot wait until you reach your destination, find a place to pull off the road, and then make your call. But do not call and talk while driving. Please keep yourself and your family safe. We would prefer to avoid injuries rather than taking care of injuries. Thank you.
