Labor Day Weekend Safety: Plan Your Ride Before You Celebrate

Labor Day Weekend can mean more travel, parties, family gatherings, concerts, dinners, and other celebrations. If alcohol is part of your plans, decide how you will get home before the celebration begins.

Do not wait until after drinking to decide whether you are capable of driving. Alcohol can affect judgment, coordination, reaction time, and decision-making.

• Choose a designated driver. The designated driver should remain alcohol-free.
• Use a rideshare or taxi. Arrange transportation before you need it.
• Use public transportation where available.
• Ask a sober friend or family member for a ride.
• Stay overnight if a safe ride home is not available.
• Never let an impaired person drive.
• Do not rely on coffee, food, fresh air, or a short nap to make an impaired driver safe to drive.

If alcohol is part of your Labor Day Weekend plans, arrange a sober ride before drinking. Protect yourself, your passengers, and everyone else sharing the road.

What Should You Do If You Have Been Drinking?

1. Do not drive. If you have been drinking, do not get behind the wheel.
2. Give your keys to a sober person who can help prevent an unsafe decision.
3. Arrange safe transportation through a designated driver, rideshare, taxi, or public transportation.
4. Stay where you are if a safe ride is unavailable.
5. Help your friends make a safe decision and never get into a vehicle with an impaired driver.
