PERU – Enforcement agencies statewide are reminding motorists that St. Patrick’s Day should be celebrated responsibly. The ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign will not only target those who may be under the influence, but also look for drivers and passengers not wearing seat belts. While designating a sober driver is the simplest way to avoid a tragic crash or DUI arrest, here are some additional tips to help you keep yourself and others safe:
- If a friend is about to drive impaired, take their keys and help them get home safely.
- Buckle up. It’s your best defense in the event of a crash.
- Remember, pedestrians are at risk, too. If you’re walking, keep an eye out for cars. If you’re driving, remain alert for impaired walkers who may not obey street signs.
