While this year’s celebration may look a little different in our community, however you celebrate, make sure you and your friends stay safe this year by remembering one important piece of advice: Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving. This means that if you plan to drink any alcoholic beverage, it’s essential that you plan for a sober designated driver beforehand.
If you’ve been drinking, make the right choice to find a sober driver to get you, and your friends, home safely. Before you put your keys in the ignition, remind yourself: Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.
Virginia's preliminary crash data shows an overall increase in speed related highway fatalities. In 2019 there were 349 speed related fatalities and 404 in 2020.
