Labor Day Weekend – Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over!

Drunk driving is a deadly epidemic that takes the lives of more than 10,000 people each year, on average. Remember to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

NHTSA makes it simple to get home safely using the SaferRide App.

• Choose from a list of available taxi services in your area to call.
• Call a pre-programmed contact.
• Access a map of your current location.

The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign aims to increase public awareness and provide highly visible enforcement, in order to decrease the number of drunk drivers on the road. School Training Solutions (STS) urges you to spread the message, and take simple steps to prevent a tragedy.
