Happy Holidays 2021: Please Stay Safe on the Road!

A fun but serious reminder to enjoy the holidays safely from the NHTSA. 

The easy takeaway from this image is that each of us must take responsbility for our actions on the road - don't leave it to others. Your good judgement and vigilance while operating a vehicle might be the deciding factor/slim margin between staying safe and healthy and serious injury (even death). Don't let yourself or someone in your family become a statistic through impaired, distracted or just plain reckless driving. 

Now that we have that out of the way, Happy Holidays to one and all from DriverSafetyLinks.com!

 Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over: Dec. 15, 2021 - Jan. 1, 2022 

At this point, the dangers of drunk driving are well-established - even if individuals choose to ignore them because they can "manage the risk." Guess what? You can't, because that's the nature of imparied driving. It's simply not worth the potential for injury or death for yourself, passengers and fellow drivers.

The message is quite simple: DON'T DO IT. Stay overnight, get a designated driver or just remain at home if you can't manage to avoid alcohol when you need to operate a vehicle. 

There is a wealth of information on this topic to read and share on the

Happy Holidays and stay safe on the road!
