Roads are safer on New Year’s Day than other holidays, despite concerns of revelers driving drunk in the early morning hours.

Of six large holidays, New Year’s is the second-most safe on average. From 2006 to 2012, there were an average of 336 driving deaths per year on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day combined. Only Independence Day had fewer fatalities, averaging 308 per year over the same time period. Christmas, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving all averaged more deaths per year than New Year’s. Thanksgiving had the highest fatality rate, with an average of 524 per year.
