Kick Off Super Bowl LVIII with a Go Safely Game Plan 
In partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the San Mateo Police Department wants you to celebrate Super Bowl LVIII responsibly. Don’t Drive Impaired.
As the excitement builds for Super Bowl LVIII, the San Mateo Police Department 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 go.
During Super Bowl LVIII weekend, we will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Last night we hosted our first DUI Checkpoint of the year and made two DUI arrests, and tonight, we’ll have additional saturation patrols out and about.
“Let's make sure Super Bowl Sunday is remembered for great plays on the field, not for unnecessary risks on the road,” Traffic Sergeant Craig Collom said. “Before you grab a drink, plan ahead and designate a sober driver. Choosing a safer way to go is a win-win for everyone.”
The San Mateo Police Department reminds the public that alcohol is not the only substance that impairs. Marijuana, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs may also impair your ability to drive safely. Do your research and understand how certain drugs may affect you.
Play it safe, play it smart. With public transportation, ride share services, and designated drivers, there is no reason for you to get behind the wheel of a car if you’re under the influence. Be a winner this Sunday and every day!
