Demas Law Group Wants You to Get Home Safe This St. Patrick’s Day

get home safe

Demas Law Group, P.C., will provide discounts on Uber rides on St. Patrick’s Day, which this year is Friday, March 17, 2017. We are glad to have this opportunity to help our neighbors have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

For many of us, St. Patrick’s Day is a joyful celebration, a great time to dig out the green items in our wardrobes, get together with friends, maybe watch a parade, go to a party or head out to a bar, eat some cabbage, and drink some Guinness.

Unfortunately, there’s also a dark side to the holiday. There have been too many accidents because of people not thinking ahead about how they will get home after having fun on St. Patrick’s Day.

The statistics are scary. Every 74 minutes during the St. Patrick’s Day holiday period there is an alcohol-related crash that results in a death. That’s almost one death per hour. Most of the fatal accidents involved people who had been drinking heavily, with 75 percent of the fatal crashes involving a driver whose blood test showed twice the legal alcohol limit. In the past five years, 266 people died in accidents involving drunk driving during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. We don’t want you to become a statistic! Please be safe and don’t drive drunk.

Also keep in mind that the California Highway Patrol says that they often pay “special attention” to looking out for drunk drivers on St. Patrick’s Day. They warn drivers not to “test their luck.” Last year, the CHP made more than 120 DUI arrests on St. Patrick’s Day.

If you go out on St. Patrick’s Day and drink, listen to the Highway Patrol and don’t take any chances. Don’t risk arrest, injury, or death. If you don’t have a designated driver with you, call an Uber and use our discount code, which is available to people in the Sacramento area. If you see a friend who shouldn’t be driving, make sure they have an Uber or another safe way to get home too.

We want you to be safe, and we are glad to help you get a ride. Demas Law Group, P.C., is committed to giving back to the community that we serve, and we are grateful to have this opportunity to help. The code will be emailed to you and will get you $10 off your Uber ride. This code will be available to the first 100 people that use it. We wish everyone a happy and safe St. Patrick’s Day!
