March Madness

I am acutely aware that the term March Madness is most often associated with the NCAA basketball tournament, but for my purposes, it refers to how things often get a little crazy in March. This is true on all sorts of levels.

Along with said mentioned basketball event, people tend to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in a very boisterous manner. Also let's not forget that in the Great NorthEast, the weather tends to break during this month and we are exposed to a few sporadic days in which it feels like mid July. With this seasonal shift and being couped up inside for 3 months, people often get a bit rambuncious, myself included. That being said, it is important to make sure we celebrate the plethora of festivities in March in a responsible manner.

If one wishes to honor the great St. Patrick by repeatedly toasting in his honor, that is all well and good, but please remember to do so responsibly and not drink and drive. Clearly I am stating the obvious and I'm not trying to sound like a public service announcement, but it is important to not only take one's own health into consideration, but that of others who can and will be hurt as a result of said actions.

If you become subject to a DWI or DUI, the best thing to do is comply with the officer's instructions. Trust me, a cooperative defendant is dealt with much more favorably than one that is not. Once charged and processed, it is in everyone's best interest to seek proper legal counsel that handles matters such as this on a routine basis.

Also in March, due to the glimpses of warmer sunny weather, people tend to not be able to drive 55, as the great Sammy Hagar would say, and become subjected to a plethora of vehicle and traffic violations. The police are out in full force during the month of March, so be on your toes. Again, if pulled over, be compliant and seek counsel to fight another day.

Enjoy these first days of Spring and drive and party responsibly. Happy March Madness to all!
