As Super Bowl weekend approaches, the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) urges people to prioritize safety by committing to sober driving.
This year’s Super Bowl is on Sunday, February 9. As fans plan their watch parties, ICJI is encouraging them to plan how they'll get home safely.
“The consequences of driving under the influence can last far beyond game day,” said Jim Bryan, ICJI’s Traffic Safety Director. “If your plans include alcohol, make sure they also include a safe way to get home. Don’t turn a night of celebration into a tragedy.”
Impaired driving causes thousands of deaths nationwide each year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in 2022, one person was killed every 39 minutes in a drunk-driving crash on our nation’s roads.
Beyond fatalities, drunk driving carries a range of consequences. Help set your team — your friends, family, and other party-goers — up for a night of success with these tips from the NHTSA. There are many options to help impaired drivers get home safely, such as designating a sober driver or calling a taxi or rideshare service.
