It is the start of a long weekend for the Fourth of July. It is imperative that people think ahead to be safe on the roads. As the Minneapolis Tribune reported today:
One in seven Minnesota drivers has a drunken driving conviction, and the 4th tends to be the deadliest holiday for drunken driving, according to the annual DPS “Crash Facts” report. Since 2011, more than 40 percent of fatal crashes on July 4 were linked to drunken driving.
Beyond that there are also a number of road projects to keep clear of:
The Fourth is a great time of year and a fun holiday. It will be made better if we stay safe.
