College and Young Adult Impaired Driving
Spring break is supposed to be a fun time for students, but drinking and driving can turn celebrations deadly. That’s why TxDOT’s Drive Sober. No Regrets. statewide impaired driving prevention campaign is reminding everyone, but especially students on spring break, to never drive after drinking any amount of alcohol. Even one drink is too many.
The Drive Sober. No Regrets. campaign emphasizes the serious and long-lasting consequences of impaired driving and reinforces the importance of finding a sober ride and the many options available. Rideshares can be expensive, but paying for a safe ride is much cheaper than paying for a DWI or a life-altering crash.
The campaign encourages students to look out for their friends, too. Never get in the car with a friend who has been drinking. Instead, encourage them to find a sober ride. What might be an uncomfortable conversation could save a life.
