For the second consecutive year, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl bound.

The Chiefs are headed to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV.

On Super Bowl Sunday, February 7, there will be a lot of game-day socializing that may include drinking. That’s why the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety is urging football fans to call the play now: drinking or driving. If you plan on drinking on Super Bowl Sunday, you are urged to designate a sober driver to get you home safely.

During the 2020 Super Bowl weekend (Friday night at 6 p.m. until 11:59 p.m. Super Bowl Sunday) there were 35 major crashes which resulted in 11 fatalities and 40 serious injuries.

The coalition offers several useful tips for Super Bowl game night:
· Designate your sober driver or plan another way to get home safely before the party begins.
· If you don’t have a designated driver, then ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a ride share or family member to come and get you; or just stay for the night.
· Never let friends drive if they’ve been drinking.
· If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take the keys and help them make safe travel arrangements.

Make this year’s bowl party SUPER. Whether you have had just a few, or are way over the limit, impaired driving is not worth causing a traffic crash, serious injury or even death.
