Precinct 8 is teaming up with area law enforcement to help keep the roads safe 👊
Precinct 8 is proud to be teaming up with area law enforcement to deter impaired driving as we head into the Thanksgiving holiday. Here are some tips to make this Thanksgiving a safe one on area roadways.
1. Don’t let a pre-Thanksgiving party squash your holiday meal. From 2016-2020, the 821 people who died in alcohol-impaired crashes during the Thanksgiving holiday period were alcohol-impaired. If you’ve been drinking, call a sober friend, taxi, or ride share to get you home safely.
2. Add a designated driver to your Thanksgiving menu. It’s not an indulgence — it’s a necessity.
3. Don’t drive sauced — leave that to the cranberries 🥫. In 2020, there were 11,654 people killed in drunk-driving crashes — nearly a 15% increase from 2019 📈.
4. Only turkeys drive drunk. 🦃 If you’ve been drinking, call a sober friend, ride share, or taxi to get you home safely.
6. #Thanksgiving is Nov. 24th. Stay safe on the roads!
