New Year’s Eve is one of the largest festive days in the country. People throw parties to welcome in the new year, and, more often than not, alcohol is involved. Because of the revelries, it is also one of the most dangerous times to be on the road.

Because New Year’s Eve parties have to last till at least midnight, there is also a high number of drunk drivers on the road at the same time. To combat this danger, police departments often have many officers on the roads. Some cities even have judges to immediately serve warrants requiring breathalyzer tests, making it even more dangerous to be caught drinking and driving.
