December is recognized as National Drunk and Drugged Driving Month. It is important to remember that after any holiday celebration, you should refrain from driving if you have consumed alcohol or drugs. Driving under the influence can have devastating consequences for our community.
Therefore, let us take a pledge to: always plan to have a sober driver, use public transportation whenever possible, remind our loved ones to be responsible and safe, offer non-alcoholic drinks to everyone, and be aware of pedestrians and cyclists on the road. We all play a crucial role in keeping our roads and each other safe. It is up to us to intervene when necessary and promote responsible choices.
