Information Detail
As the holiday season is beginning, we would like everyone to remember the hazards related to drinking and driving, Be Responsible and have a designated driver, a friend you can call, Taxi, Uber, or other means of getting home if you have had too much to drink. Drinking and not driving shows responsibility. Let's all be responsible this season.
In the event you see a vehicle that you suspect might have be a drunk driver, try to remember these 5 steps.
1. First, stay as far away from the other vehicle as possible.
2. Second, do not try to pass the vehicle or signal the driver to pull over. Doing so could result in a collision.
3. Third, take notice of the license plate number of the driver along with details of the vehicle including make, model and color. However, make sure you don't compromise your own safety trying to obtain this information.
4. Finally, pull over and call 911. Give the exact location of the vehicle, including the name of the road or cross streets and the direction the vehicle is traveling. Give a complete description of the vehicle and the manner in which the vehicle is being driven.
5. Then leave the rest up to the peace officers who work hard to make our roads safe.
Thank you for caring and taking the time to make the roads safer for everyone.
