Laguna Beach Police Department will be running a safety campaign, today, Sunday February 1 2015 during SuperBowl Sunday.
The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event.
On Super Bowl Sunday, February 1, there will be lots of game day socializing that may include drinking.
That’s why the Laguna Beach Police Department and the Office of Traffic Safety are urging football fans to choose sides now: drinking OR driving.
If you plan on drinking on Super Bowl Sunday, designate a sober driver to get you home safely.
The Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk campaign encourages people to make plans ahead of time that will prevent them from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking.
Everyone should be mindful that if you’re taking medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter, drinking even small amounts of alcohol can greatly intensify the impairment effects.
Driving impaired could result in injury or death for you or others on the road.
Officers from the Laguna Beach Police Department will be deploying on Super Bowl Sunday to stop and arrest alcohol and drug-impaired drivers in the Department’s ongoing traffic safety campaign.
“Drunk driving is completely preventable,” said Lieutenant Jeff Calvert.
“All it takes is a little planning.
We want fans to remember that it’s a choice.
Drink or drive—but never do both.”
For those who plan to drink, leave your keys at home.
Designate a sober driver, whether it’s a friend, relative, taxi, or public transportation.
For those who plan to drive, refrain from any alcohol. Instead, enjoy the game with food and non-alcoholic drinks.
Being a sober, designated driver is a key role on Super Bowl Sunday.
You might just save a life.
Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
OTS is offering a free mobile app – DDVIP – aimed at thanking the sober designated driver with perks and free offers at area bars and restaurants. Never let friends drive if they have had too much to drink.
