REMEMBER: Drive Safely after Your Super Bowl Festivities
Well, we know who is playing and the hype is building daily. Super Bowl party planning is in full swing.
While you may not be thinking about the dangers of buzzed driving this time of year, you or someone you know will likely be attending a party where alcohol is served. So whether you’re rooting for the Colts or the Saints, (Remember, I want them both to win – Who Dat!? AND luv me some Manning!), there are some things you need to remember to keep yourself and your loved ones safe before, during and after Super Bowl XLIV.
When you’re heading out to a party or hosting guests, remember to always plan ahead:
- Designate a sober driver or be prepared to find a safe ride home for your guests
- Be ready to take alternate transportation such as a bus or taxi. Have the phone number of a taxi service stored in your phone before you leave for the party.
In 2008, 11,773 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes.
I’m working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Ad Council as they continue their efforts with the “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving” PSA campaign. Buzzed drivers are those who drink and drive, but do not consider themselves a hazard on the roadway because “only a few” drinks are consumed. The campaign hopes to educate people that consuming even one drink can impair driving and that “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.” So even if you are planning on staying home Super Bowl weekend, please remind your loved ones that buzzed driving IS drunk driving.
To learn more about the impact buzzed driving can have on a life, please watch this important video about the financial and personal repercussions of getting a DUI: http://buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org/sign.php#video
Remember: Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving. Plan ahead and ask your loved ones to do the same.

YES. Please please please dont drink and drive! It is NOT worth killing/injuring yourself, someone else, or getting tossed in jail for DUI! Sleep on the couch where ever you are, have someone pick you up, have a designated driver, call a taxi, anything! Just don’t Drink and Drive – you WILL regret it! Thanks for posting this! Some people think they are invincible and they are NOT!
This is one hot-button issue for me. I don’t drink at all ever, and I don’t understand why people drink and get behind the wheel. It’s so scary to think that they’re putting so many people at risk.
