The holiday season, with its many traditions, is a time of joy for us all. It's a time of coming together with family and friends to remember what has been and anticipate what is yet to be.  Festivities will abound and the spirit of the season will undoubtely mean parties, family gatherings and special events.

Following these easy steps, a driver can enjoy a safe and festive holiday without jeopardizing their life and the lives of the others who may be on the road: 

  • Make a plan to arrive home safely before the festivities begin;
  • If you plan to drink, designate a sober driver and give that person your keys;
  • If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;
  • If you see a drunk driver on the road, call 911 or contact your local law enforcement agency;
  • And remember, if you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.

Don’t let your year end in an arrest—or worse. Celebrate the season responsibly by making smart decisions and planning ahead. Whether you’ve had way too many or just one too many, it’s not worth the risk.
