December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, a crucial time to spotlight the dangers of driving under the influence and commit to safer roads for all. This observance encourages individuals and communities to take proactive steps to prevent impaired driving, saving lives and reducing injuries during the holiday season and beyond.
Impaired driving—whether caused by alcohol, drugs, or fatigue—poses a significant risk. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), alcohol-impaired driving claims thousands of lives each year in the United States. The consequences ripple beyond statistics, impacting families, friends, and entire communities.
Here are some ways to observe and promote awareness this December:
Plan Ahead: Designate a sober driver, use ride-sharing services, or arrange for alternate transportation.
Educate Others: Share facts about impaired driving risks on social media or during family gatherings.
Support Awareness Campaigns: Join local or national initiatives aimed at reducing impaired driving.
