St. Patrick’s Day is here, and driving buzzed on the holiday could cost you a pot of leprechaun’s gold – like up to $10,000 in legal fees, court costs, and increased insurance rates.
For many Americans, St. Patrick’s Day has become a popular night out to celebrate with friends and family. Unfortunately, due to the large number of drunk drivers, the night out has also become very dangerous and the police will be out in full force. With St. Patty’s day falling on a Saturday, law enforcement will consider this whole weekend as one big drunk-fest.
