Don’t Fumble: Tackle Drunk Driving Before the Clock Starts
Kickoff is right around the corner and for many football fans, when it’s time for Super Bowl LII, everyone’s a fan…and Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.
Officers with the Mount Pleasant Police Department are huddling up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a special Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk reminder to urge football fans across the nation not to drop the ball on this issue.
Drunk driving can be deadly, and even small amounts of alcohol can impair judgement to make driving unsafe. In 2016, there were 10,497 alcohol-involved motor vehicle fatalities. Among those, 67 percent (7,052) involved at least one driver with a BAC of .15, almost twice the legal limit.
Make the perfect play if you’ve had too much to drink - call a friend, call a taxi, or consider using a local rideshare program to get you and everyone else home safely!"
