New York State police
are looking to crack down on drunk
driving this weekend. If you are
celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at a party or event, remember to plan a way home
in advance. Designate a driver or find
alternate transportation.
More than 269 people
were killed by drunk drivers on St. Patrick’s Day between 2007 and 2011. Last year, troopers made 204 arrests and
issued 9,763 tickets. They plan on
making a similar effort this weekend.
The New York State police and NHTSA recommend these steps to ensure a safe
holiday:
- Plan a way to safely get home.
- Designate a sober driver before you start drinking.
- Leave your car keys at home.
- Call a taxi or a sober friend or family member.
- Use public transportation.
- Designate a sober friend to walk you home.
- Make sure your friends and family get home safe too. Don’t let them drive drunk.
- Call the police if you spot a drunk driver. You could save a life.
