St. Patty&#8217;s means all things green &#8211; green beer, green sweets, and all the Irish food! Even with COVID-19 restrictions, there are sure to be St. Patrick&#8217;s Day events around the Marietta and Cobb County communities.<\/p>\r\n<p>Unfortunately, statistics show an increase in the risk of being involved in a car, truck or auto accident due to impaired driving on St. Patrick&#8217;s Day. Whether you have plans this St. Patty\u2019s day to get out and celebrate, or you&#8217;ll be on Georgia roadways for another reason, it&#8217;s important to plan safety measures for your safety and those around you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>here Are A Few Tips On How You Can Stay Safe And Plan Ahead For St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Roadway Dangers: <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>\r\n<div class=\"cta-inner cta-1\">\n            <div class=\"cta-inner__meta\" style=\"margin: 0;\">\n                <h3>Call Today For A Free Consultation <\/h3>\n                <div class=\"cta-inner__btn-white\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-white\" href=\"tel:+17704275498\" title=\"(770) 427-5498\">(770) 427-5498<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div><h3><strong>designate A Driver.<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThis may seem fairly obvious, but you&#8217;d be surprised how many people think they can have a few drinks and still be ok to get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.\u00a0 Not only is it illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol, but it&#8217;s one of the most dangerous types of auto accidents as well. Technology makes driving services like Uber or Lyft readily available, especially for holidays such as St. Patty&#8217;s &#8211; use them.<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><strong>have Alternate Plans In Place. <\/strong><\/h3>\r\nAre all Uber&#8217;s full? Can&#8217;t find a Lyft nearby? Alerting a friend or family member before you go out to celebrate so they can be your emergency designated driver is an excellent plan of action. If that&#8217;s not an option, grab a hotel room for the night. There are a variety of other safe driving alternatives in the metro Atlanta area. It&#8217;s always good to have a back up plan in mind before leaving home to celebrate.<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<div class=\"cta-inner cta-2\">\n            <div class=\"cta-inner__meta\" style=\"margin: 0;\">\n                <h3>Contact Our personal injury Lawyers Today<\/h3>\n                <div class=\"cta-inner__btn-white\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-white\" href=\"\/contact-us\/\" title=\"Click to contact\">Click To Contact<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div><h3><strong>stay Alert And Keep An Eye On Your Friends. <\/strong><\/h3>\r\nMake sure your friends do not drive drunk either.
