Police remind football fans not to drive drunk

For Sunday’s Super Bowl LX the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is teaming up with Carbon County Police to remind drivers that Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.

Anyone going to a Super Bowl party and planning to drink alcohol should make sure to plan for a designated driver or not indulge in drinking.

Anyone hosting a party, prepare plenty of food and nonalcoholic drink options for the guests, especially for the designated drivers.

For designated drivers, be the night’s MVP and keep that commitment front and center.

“Super Bowl is a special event each year for our community to come together to celebrate, but we need responsible drivers on our roads,” said Joel Gulla, Lehighton Police Department and Carbon County coordinator for the North Central Regional DUI Enforcement Program.

“If you are planning to be away from home during Super Bowl LX, make a game plan to ensure you don’t find yourself without a designated driver if you need one.

“If you’re hosting a party, take care of your designated drivers. Remind your friends and family: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.”
