Just curious what are your plans this 4th of July? We’re heading out of town. While you’re out and celebrating keep in mind that we all need to be safe this season. If your lives haven’t been touched by drivers under the influence you are in the lucky crowd.
• One person is killed every half-hour due to drunk driving
• Each year approximately 16,000 are killed in alcohol related crashes
• Alcohol is a factor in almost half of all traffic fatalities
• Every other minute a person is seriously injured in an alcohol related crash
The heat, the fireworks and the alcohol can lead to trouble. So keep things safe this 4th of July and remember even one drink will impair your judgment.
1.) Designate a sober driver before you leave for your Fourth of July events.
2.) Be ready to take alternate transportation such as a bus or taxi.
3.) Have the phone number of a taxi service stored in your phone before you leave for the party.
4.) Call 9-1-1 if you see an impaired driver on the road.
