For those traveling during the Denver holidays, staying off the roadways is impossible. Yet, when traveling down I-70, I-25, or I-76, you should pay more attention to who is on the road, ensuring you have the highest vigilance possible to protect yourself and your family.
Several measures can help reduce drunk driving accidents:
Those hosting parties should plan for ways for people to get home who have consumed any amount of alcohol.
Those attending such parties, heading to the bar, or going to any holiday event should designate someone to drive, meaning that person does not engage in drinking substances.
Bars and their employees should be aware of the intoxication levels of their patrons, especially if they know that those individuals will be getting behind the wheel to drive home.
In past years, local law enforcement has put together campaigns and awareness efforts to encourage people to drive sober and provide resources to help them.
While it is a personal responsibility not to use substances and then drive a vehicle, it is also critical for each individual on the roadway to pay close attention to what is happening around them.
