Houston DWI Lawyers Corso Law Group Expect Increase in DWIs Patrols Over Halloween Weekend
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) October 08, 2015 -- Halloween is known for candy but one group of Houston DWI lawyers say to expect alcohol to play a larger role this year.
According to Christopher Corso, founder of Corso Law Group, the fact that Halloween falls on a Saturday this year means more people will be drinking and attending parties. Because of this, local law enforcement will be on high alert for drivers while intoxicated.
Increased patrols are expected this Halloween in Houston, similar to last year’s No-Refusal weekend in Harris County, Corso said, pointing to the fact that Texas law enforcement has been implementing no-refusal initiatives for almost every recent major holiday, including Labor Day earlier this year.
“Halloween is a holiday celebrated by all age groups and with it falling on a weekend, adults are going to have more of a reason to go out and drink,” Corso said. “Law enforcement knows drinking tends to increase on the weekend, especially when a holiday is included, so they’ll be out in full force this Halloween.”
A weekend holiday also means a deadlier one. According to MADD, 31 percent of fatal crashes on Saturdays and Sundays are alcohol related, compared to 13 percent during weekdays.
Unfortunately, Texas has been one of the worst states for drinking and driving. According to The Texas Department of Transportation, a person is either injured or killed by an alcohol-related accident approximately every 20 minutes. That’s more than twice the national average of 52 minutes, according to MADD.
“Weekend holidays are active times for police when it comes to DWIs and other traffic violations,” Corso said. “If law enforcement initially pulls you over for speeding, but suspects you’re intoxicated, they’ll immediately test you.”
