MOTORISTS REMINDED TO DESIGNATE A DRIVER WHILE CELEBRATING THE BIG GAME The big game is coming up this weekend and while you are celebrating all the great plays, remember to designate a drive if you plan on drinking.
According to the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, in 2015, 162 people were killed and 576 seriously injured in Missouri crashes that involved at least one substance-impaired driver.
If you plan on drinking while enjoying the game, leave your keys at home. Designate a sober driver, whether it’s a friend, relative, taxi, ride share or public transportation.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is also offering a new SaferRide mobile app. The app helps people who have been drinking get a safe ride home; it helps users call a taxi or a friend and identifies their location so they can be picked up.
The app is available for Android devices on Google Play, and Apple devices on the iTunes store.
