Americans love a good party, and Super Bowl Sixty is one of the most anticipated weekends of the year. Super Bowl LX will be played Sunday, February 8th between Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
To help keep drivers and partygoers safe, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is teaming up with area law enforcement to remind football fans that fans don’t let fans drive drunk.
Whether you’re heading out to a restaurant or attending a Super Bowl party, officials say it’s important to plan ahead. If your evening involves alcohol, make sure you have a sober, designated driver arranged before the game begins.
Those hosting parties are encouraged to look out for guests by supporting designated drivers and making sure they stay alcohol-free. Designated drivers are being recognized as the real MVPs of the night, reminding everyone they’re responsible for getting friends and family home safely.
If someone has been drinking and tries to drive, take their keys and help them get home safely—even if they don’t appreciate it at the time.
Officials remind drivers that it’s never okay to drink and drive, even after just one drink. If needed, call a taxi or rideshare, and report suspected drunk driving to local law enforcement.
