WE GOT YOU – HOLIDAY EDITION SOBER DRIVING GIVEAWAY

November 15, 2021

The holidays are a time to gather with family & friends, remind ourselves of what we’re thankful for, and recollect on the past year as we look to the year ahead. However, sometimes holiday celebrations can get away from us. Maybe your Thanksgiving eve with friends got a little out of hand or you had one too many glasses of wine at the dinner table. It can happen to anyone, which is why it’s good to be prepared and plan ahead.

What to Do If You See a Drunk Driver:  

If you suspect that a driver on the road is driving impaired, there are a few steps that you can take.  

• Stay as far away as possible.  Do not put yourself or your passengers at risk. Do not pass the drunk driver or try to get their attention.  
• Try to notice details. Without getting too close, try to make out the make, model, and/or license plate number of the vehicle. 
• Call 911. Pull over as soon as possible and call to report the driver. Recall the details of the vehicle and describe your exact location. Give details on which direction the driver is traveling and what actions they did to give you suspicion of impaired driving.
