New Years Eve Safety Tips

For those planning to drink on New Year’s Eve, there are some simple steps to follow to ensure you make it home from celebrating safe and sound.

 

• For those who consumed alcohol, even just one drink, take mass transit, a taxi or ask a sober friend to drive you home.

 

• Report impaired drivers to law enforcement.

 

• For those who are intoxicated and traveling on foot, the safest way to get home is to take a cab or have a sober friend or family member to safely walk you home to your doorstep.

 

• Always buckle up, every ride, regardless of the seating position in the vehicle. It’s the best defense against an impaired driver.
