Impaired driving is something we can all have a hand in. The responsibility to solve it doesn’t only live with experts or police. Sometimes just by saying something you can make a difference. If a friend is about to get behind the wheel and shouldn’t, speak up. Offer a ride, call a rideshare for them, or point them to your couch for the night.
You have the same power on your own nights out. Plan your ride home before you leave. It’s a simple decision that takes the guesswork out of the night, and it’s one of the clearest ways to make sure you and everyone around you makes it home safe.
