Celebrate Cinco de Mayo Responsibly 
Novato, Calif. – Novato Police encourages the public to celebrate Cinco de Mayo responsibly by planning ahead and designating a sober driver.
On Friday May 5, Novato Police will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
“Don’t put yourself and others at risk and drive impaired,” Sgt. Reza Pourfarhani said. “If you’re planning to celebrate with a drink or two, leave your keys at home and designate a sober driver.”
Novato Police warns the community that alcohol is not the only substance that can cause impairment. Driving under the influence of any substance is illegal. Do your research and understand how cannabis consumption, prescription medications or over-the-counter-drugs may affect your driving ability.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
