Absolute Advocacy Reminds You To Be Safe This 4th of July
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are more deaths caused by impaired drivers during the 4th of July holiday than any other time of the year. Our agency provides DWI services to help people get the right education and assessments they need if they get their license revoked. However, we would rather not have to provide this service, especially in cases when accidents and death are involved.
This holiday and everyday, we want to take time to remind you to be safe. If you choose to drink, please do not drive.

Please read these important reminders from the NHTSA: 
- This year, law enforcement agencies are planning to man the highways in camouflage. Their warning message is: “They will see you before you see them. Drive sober or get pulled over.”
- Death is not the only consequence from impaired driving. Often, people have a hard time recuperating financially from the cost of an arrest or the crash itself.
- Violators often face jail time, the loss of their driver licenses, higher insurance rates, and dozens of other unanticipated expenses from attorney fees, fines and court costs, car towing and repairs, lost time at work, etc.
Here are a few simple tips to avoid a drunk-driving disaster:
- Plan a safe way home before the fun begins;
- Before drinking, designate a sober driver;
- If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation so you are sure to get home safely;
- If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to call 911
