December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month
Every day, millions of people use America's roadways to drive to and from work, school, and social events.
Every day, millions of Americans depend on these roadways being safe so they may arrive at their destination.
Every day, lives are needlessly lost and irreparably altered by crashes involving drugs or alcohol.
Tragically, in 2017, more than 10,000 people died in alcohol-related crashes in the United States accounting for 29 percent of all traffic fatalities. During the month of December, we want to raise public awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. By educating our communities on the importance of driving sober, we can help avoid the loss of life, debilitating injuries , and unbearable heartache.
Every alcohol-related traffic death is 100 percent preventable.
