As we head into the holidays, we wish you and yours a joyful and safe season.
Keep safety top of mind—on the road and in our communities. December marks National Impaired Driving Awareness Month, a reminder to make responsible choices and help protect one another.
Whether you're heading to a gathering or returning home to loved ones, please avoid driving under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, prescription medications, or other substances such as nitrous oxide. Impaired driving puts lives at risk and can have lasting consequences.
