FORT MADISON - St. Patrick’s Day is one of the biggest drinking occasions of the year, and unfortunately, means more drunk drivers on the roads.
To help keep your community’s street safe, the Fort Madison Police Department is teaming up with the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to spread the message about the dangers of drunk driving. If your plans for the holiday include alcohol, make sure you plan for a sober driver. Help us spread the message that Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.
If you plan to drink, make sure you refrain from driving and make a plan to get home safely.
Review these facts and share the word about the dangers of drunk driving so you can continue merry-making for all the St. Paddy’s Days to come.
If you are the designated driver, make sure you keep that promise of safety to yourself and your passengers.
Plan ahead:
*Before you have one drink, designate a sober driver who won’t be drinking
*If you are drinking, plan to call a taxi or a rideshare service.
*If you are the designated driver, take your job seriously—don’t drink.
*If you see a drunk driver, contact the Fort Madison Police Department 319-372-2525 or 911.
*Take keys away from friends/family that is going to drink and drive. Keep everyone you love safe.
