The many holidays that occur in December make it one of the most common times of year for DUI. But does the end of the year result in the highest number of DUI arrests? Our attorneys at Newman & Allen explain seasonal DUI trends to be aware of.
When DUI is Most Common
There is no clear, consistent answer for which month results in the most DUI arrests each year. However, winter holidays are the main reason why December may be the biggest month for DUI incidents each year. There are numerous holidays that fall between December 1st and 31st. Holiday celebrations often involve alcohol, which directly lead to an increase in drunk driving. In fact, New Year’s Eve is often thought of to be the biggest night for DUI of the entire year.
Other than December, the summertime is the most common time for DUI arrests. Like in the winter, there are numerous summertime holidays that involve drinking like Independence Day and Labor Day. In fact, the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is referred to as the 100 deadliest days due to a high number of drunk driving cases and accidents.
