Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over National Campaign

August 13 – September 1 is the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over national campaign organized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

• Impaired driving begins with just one drink, which affects vision, mental judgment & motor skills.

• In 2023, 12,429 people were killed in alcohol-impaired crashes in the U.S.—that’s one death every 42 minutes.

What can you do:

• Always plan a sober ride home: designate a driver, use rideshare or stay somewhere overnight.
• Recognize fatigue: yawning, blurry vision, lane drifting– don’t drive, pull over, or get rest.
• Encourage safe behavior among friends on holidays.

Every crash is preventable. A little forethought saves lives.
