Rohnert Park, Calif. – As the excitement builds for Super Bowl LVIII this weekend, the Rohnert Park DPS reminds football fans to intercept impaired driving if they’re heading out to a Super Bowl party and plan on drinking. Make sure you stick to the “Go Safely” game plan and choose a sober way to get to and from your festivities.
During Super Bowl weekend, Rohnert Park DPS will be increasing DUI enforcement and have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
“Let's make sure Super Bowl Sunday is remembered for great plays on the field, not for unnecessary risks on the road,” Sergeant Marshall said. “Before you grab a drink, plan ahead for a sober designated driver. Choosing a safer way to go is a win-win for everyone.”
Rohnert Park DPS reminds the public that alcohol is not the only substance that impairs safe driving. Marijuana, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs may also impact your ability to drive safely. Do your research and understand how certain drugs may affect you.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
