Holiday Drinking? Don’t Become a Statistic!

Help Keep the Roads Safe this Holiday Season!

Tis the season to be traveling, socializing, and for many people, drinking. As cocktails flow freely at holiday events, so do the dangers on the road. Holiday drunk driving incidents skyrocket, turning what should be a season of happiness into one of the most dangerous times of the year to drive.

If you’re hosting, provide alternative transportation options for guests and encourage responsible drinking. If you’re drinking, have a plan by designating a sober driver or calling a ride-share service in advance. If you’re not drinking, drive defensively and be alert for drunk drivers.
