While the Fourth of July is a fun holiday to eat, drink and celebrate, NHPÂ also wants to remind us that it's also one of the deadliest holidays for our nation's roadways.
Between June 30 and July 14, more officers will patrol in efforts to crack down on impaired drivers and riders.
The continuous goal is "Zero Fatalities". To help achieve that goal, NHP encourages drivers and riders to follow these guidelines:Â
- designate a sober driver before drinking;
- use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member or use public transportation if impaired;
- take advantage of local sober ride programs;
- call 911 if a drunk driver is spotted on the road;
- take the keys or assist in making other arrangements for someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired
Be safe and enjoy Independence Day!
