How to be Proactive During National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month

We all love celebrating the holidays, but drinking and driving can make that festive time deadly for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. December’s National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month has a high fatality rate due to people driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both. According to the National Safety Council, over 40,000 people died in alcohol-related traffic accidents last year, so this year, stay safe during the holidays.

Here are some tips on how to avoid impaired driving during the holidays:

1. Don’t drink and drive!
2. Use ride-share apps (even if you live close).
3. Don’t rely on the “one drink an hour” motto.
4. Choose a reliable designated driver.
5. Stay with a friend to avoid driving.
