Plan Ahead for a Safe Celebration

· Always drive 100% sober. Even one alcoholic beverage could be one too many.

· Plan ahead: Before you have even one drink, designate a sober driver to get you home safely. If you wait until you’ve been drinking to make this decision, you might not make the best one. · You have options to get home safely: Designate a sober driver or call a taxi or rideshare. Getting home safely is always worth it.

· If it’s your turn to be the designated driver, take your job seriously and don’t drink.

· If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact local law enforcement.

· If you have a friend who is about to drink and drive, take the keys away and let a sober driver get your friend home safely. For more information, visit www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunk-driving
