Beverly Hills, Calif. – Whether it is meeting with a small group of friends or holding a virtual get-together, the Beverly Hills Police Department encourages the public to celebrate the holiday responsibly by designating a sober driver.
“Don’t ruin the celebrations by putting yourself and others at risk and driving impaired,” Beverly Hills Police Chief Dominick Rivetti said. “If you’re planning on drinking, plan on getting a sober ride home.”
The Beverly Hills Police Department also reminds the public that in addition to alcohol, drugs may also impair, including marijuana. Always be sure to check your medications and avoid driving after use if there is a “do not operate heavy machinery,” “may cause drowsiness,” or other warning labels.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
