Drunk Driving Persists As A Problem, Washington Car Accident Lawyer Says
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 24, 2012
The arrest of thousands of suspected drunk drivers during the recent holiday period shows that drinking and driving remains a problem on the state’s roads, Washington car accident lawyer Dean Brett said today.
According to statistics released earlier this month by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, law enforcement officers made 3,812 DUI arrests during the period between the Thanksgiving and New Year’s holidays. In King County alone, officers recorded 960 DUI arrests – a significant increase from the 876 arrested during the same time frame a year ago.
“On the one hand, this is good news. It shows that police are doing a good job of catching drunk drivers ,” said Brett, a partner with the personal injury law firm of Brett Murphy – Washington’s Injury Lawyers.
“But on the other hand, this is also disturbing news,” he said. “It indicates that too many people continue to defy common sense and drive while intoxicated, placing themselves and others at the risk of accidents, injuries and – in the worst cases – death. There’s no excuse for it.”
