Stay Sober or Get Pulled Over | Motorists are reminded that if you plan to get behind the wheel, stay sober. Don’t drink, use marijuana, or consume any other impairing substances before or when driving. Driving under the influence not only risks your own life but also endangers passengers and fellow road users. The financial and human costs of a DUI are immeasurable. The decision to avoid driving impaired is simple and could spare lives. Remember to designate a sober drive before heading out if you plan to drink or use other impairing substances, never let loved ones drive under the influence, report suspected drunk drivers to 911, and always buckle up. | | |
