It\u2019s almost time for St. Patrick\u2019s Day! That means fun times\nare ahead, but there is a fine line between a fun time and a life altering\nmistake. If you follow these three tips, you\u2019re sure to have a safe, fun and\nfestive holiday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

St. Patrick\u2019s Day Safety Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have a Designated Driver<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

No matter what, do not get into a car with a drunk driver\nthis St. Patrick\u2019s Day. The last thing you want to have to deal with is\npotentially life altering consequences on a day that is meant for celebration.\nLaw enforcement presence is increased every year on St. Patrick\u2019s Day. Be sure\nto decide your designated driver before the festivities begin to avoid any\nconfusion when the time comes to go home. No designated driver? No problem.\nRideshare services like Uber and Lyft take all the stress out of finding a ride\nhome even if you forget to plan ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look After Your Friends<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to make yourself the self-appointed party\nchaperone, but it makes sense to keep an eye on your friends and loved ones on\nSt. Patrick\u2019s Day. Are they staying within their limits? Might they potentially\ntry to drive while intoxicated? Taking their keys and\/or helping them come up\nwith an alternate plan to get home safely could genuinely save their life or\nthe lives of innocent bystanders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Forget the Seatbelt!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Okay, this might seem trivial, but hear us out! Police\nofficers specifically step-up seat belt enforcement on festive holidays, and\nthis is especially true at night! Save yourself the stress of dealing with a\ntraffic stop for this silly mistake. More importantly, it will keep you safe on\na night where other drivers could potentially be major risk factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you have a fantastic St. Patrick\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
