The Fair is a time when friends and family gather to enjoy food, carnival rides and music entertainment. It’s also a time when dangerous and often deadly outcomes occur because another impaired driver hits the road drunk. [Police will be out Friday and Saturday to] stop, test and arrest impaired drivers who fail to use a designated driver.
Plan ahead with these tips:
-
To keep it safe, everyone must be sure to promote designated sober drivers in advanced of attending the Fair.
-
Arrange rides home for your friends, family, co-workers and yourself before drinking begins.
Identify and provide free non-alcoholic drinks or other promotional items to the Designated Driver.
