FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE--
THE SHERIFF AND SUPERBOWL FANS SPREAD THE MESSAGE:
Fans don’t let Fans Drive Drunk
FINCASTLE, VA – Our society loves a good party, and the Super Bowl is one such party that is highly anticipated each year. Super Bowl LVI is on Sunday, February 13, 2022. To keep drivers and partygoers safe on the roads, the Botetourt County Sheriff’s Office is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, other local agencies and traffic safety advocates and organizations to remind football fans everywhere that Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. Whether you’re heading out to a restaurant or a Super Bowl party, if your night involves drinking alcohol, make sure you plan for a designated driver to drive you home safely at the night’s end.
“We want our neighbors and friends to enjoy their Super Bowl festivities, but we also want responsible drivers on our community’s roadways,” said Sheriff Matt Ward.
Whether you’re attending a party, hosting one, or going out to a bar, keep safety at the forefront of your night. Make sure your designated driver is actually sober. If he or she has decided to drink, call a sober ride. If you are driving, remember that sober driving isn’t the only law that should be followed: Make sure you — and your passengers — wear your seat belts. Remind your friends and family: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.”
The bottom line is this: If You Feel Different, You Drive Different. It’s that simple.
