The number of crashes due to impaired and drunk driving always increases during holidays and long weekends. There are so many ways to get a safe and sober ride home these days, there’s really no excuse. Spread the word to your community and social media followers about their options. Encourage rideshares, cabs, or even offer to give people a safe ride home! SPIDRE (state police impaired driving reduction effort) will be in place to keep the roadways safe, too. Don’t get caught in their web.
Be the Driver campaign encourages personal responsibility for drivers to either Be the SOBER Driver or Be the MAKE A PLAN Driver. These social media resources encourage people to join the fight against drunk driving by providing or securing safe rides for friends.
The Impaired – Holiday 2020 toolkit provides social media images and post ideas to encourage everyone to drive safely this holiday season. The toolkit includes multiple variations of artwork.
