The holidays are upon us — bringing not only yuletide joy, but also icy weather and congested highways.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, "during the six-day Thanksgiving travel period, the number of long-distance trips (to and from a destination 50 miles or more away) increases by 54%; and during the Christmas/New Year's holiday period the number rises by 23%, compared to the average number for the remainder of the year."
This translates into more accidents — and more estimates.
