This St. Patrick’s Day, make sure your luck doesn’t run out by planning ahead for a sober ride home should you choose to take part in the celebration.
A news release says the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety reminds motorists of the various options available to get everyone home safely- designating a sober driver; calling a cab; or using public transportation are just a few of those options. Remember, if you feel different, you drive different.
Law-enforcement agencies across Missouri will be participating in additional patrols to prevent the often-deadly consequences of impaired driving. Their message is clear: drive sober or get pulled over.
Based on 2018 data, 203 people were killed and 541 were seriously injured in Missouri traffic crashes that involved at least one substance-impaired driver.
Besides driving completely sober, motorists also are advised to put down their cell phones while driving and always buckle up.
