New Year’s Eve Safety Tips for Driving
This year, the New Year’s Day holiday period runs from Thursday, December 31, 2020 to Sunday, January 3, 2021. The holiday period is a dangerous time for anyone on the roads. The National Safety Council estimates that 384 people may die on United States roads this New Year’s Day holiday period.
The roads are deadly for two main reasons during any holiday. First, people choose car travel to get to and from their destination, whether near or far. Car travel has the highest fatality rate of any major form of transportation based on fatalities per passenger mile. Second, holidays are a time of celebration. During celebrations many people choose to consume alcohol. Alcohol consumption can lead to impaired driving which is dangerous for everyone.
Driving Safety Tips
Many driving accidents are preventable. We want you and your loved ones to stay safe on the roads this holiday period with the following safety tips:
- Drive sober. Impaired driving is the number one cause of motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities. You can be impaired by more than just alcohol. Drugs and medications can both impact your ability to safely control a vehicle.
- Wear a seat belt. Buckling up is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash.
- Keep your young passengers safe. In Nevada, all children under age six who weigh less than 60 pounds must be secured in a child restraint system. Make sure your child is in a car seat that is appropriate for both their height and weight.
- Pay attention. Distracted driving is anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving. This includes cell phone use, passengers, daydreaming, eating, and drinking. Focus on the road when you drive.
- Obey Nevada traffic laws. For a refresher you can review our article on Nevada traffic laws you should know.
- Watch your speed. Speeding accounts for nearly one-third of all traffic deaths in Nevada.
- Stop on red. Do not rush through red lights and stop signs. Intersection crashes can cause death and injury.
- Stay calm behind the wheel. Holidays can be both fun and stressful. Do not let your emotions interfere with your ability to safely drive your vehicle.
We understand that even the most cautious driver can be injured in a car accident. If you are injured in a Las Vegas area car accident, you need an experienced personal injury lawyer. An experienced personal injury lawyer will work aggressively to get you maximum compensation.

New Year’s Eve Pet Safety Tips
Did you know the holidays can be a stressful and dangerous time for pets? This is especially true during the New Year holiday when there may be unexpected noise, people, and activity. You can help your pet have a safe and happy holiday weekend with the following tips:
- Do not stress your pet. Think about your pet before you bring it out with you. How comfortable will your pet be where you are going?
- Keep your pet in a secure and safe place. Just like humans, pets need a safe space, especially when they are stressed. During the holidays, the safest place for your pet is usually indoors away from outside noises. If you are hosting a party, keep your pet in a separate room away from unfamiliar guests.
- Do not let your pet consume alcohol. Alcohol is toxic to pets.
- Ensure your pet wears identification (ID) tags. Pets can escape or run away during holiday activities. Your pet’s ID tag can help them get home safely. Make sure the ID tag has your current contact information.
- Help your pet stay calm. Pay attention to your pet during the holidays. If your pet is pacing, whining, or acting differently, they may be stressed. You can play with your pet to distract them or give them something to focus on, such as a new toy.
Holiday stress can cause pets to act out. One way dogs act out is by biting. If a dog bite injures you or a loved one, seek medical help immediately. Once you have sought medical care, contact Anthem Injury Lawyers. Las Vegas Anthem Injury Lawyers is a team of experienced, dedicated personal injury lawyers and case managers.
