Safe Driving Tip #14 – Have a Happy, Safe, and Sober New Years Eve:
 
During the Christmas and New Year holiday periods, we often see a nationwide rise in drunk-driving deaths. As a result, you'll see more law enforcement on the roads as part of Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. The campaign, which runs December 14 - January 1, aims to educate people about the dangers and consequences of driving drunk.
 
Be Responsible:
For the past few years, we've seen drivers making risky decisions when they're behind the wheel. As the year comes to a close and a new one begins, make it a point to drive safely — and drive sober — every day.
 
Have a Plan Whether You're Driving, Riding or Hosting:
If you’re celebrating and drinking this holiday season, always remember to plan ahead with a sober driver to take you home. If you’re the designated driver, it’s important to take the role seriously and don’t consume alcohol or use other drugs.

Here are some more safety tips:

• Never drink and drive.
• Don’t let someone get behind the wheel if that person has been drinking.
• If you’re hosting a gathering, make sure everyone has a sober ride home.
• Call 911 if you see a drunk driver.
• Always wear your seat belt. It’s your best defense against impaired drivers.
