Don't Push Your Luck - Drive Sober

   

The Illinois Department of Transportation reminds us to stay safe while celebrating this St. Patrick's Day by following these tips:

• Remember, you can be held liable and prosecuted if someone you served is involved in an impaired driving crash.
• Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers in advance or help arrange ride sharing with other sober drivers.
• Serve plenty of food and non-alcoholic beverages at the party.
• Designate your sober driver before the party begins and give that person your car keys.
• If you don't have a designated driver, ask a sober family member or friend for a ride home or call a cab, take public transportation or use a ride-sharing service.
• Never let a friend leave your sight if you think they are about to drive impaired.
• Always buckle up - it's your best defense against an impaired driver.
