NHTSA on Super Bowl Safety 2023

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is gearing up for their annual Super Bowl safety campaign. This year, they’re reminding everybody that Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. Unfortunately, the Super Bowl is a night when there is often a spike in injury-causing and fatal motor vehicle crashes. Whether your team wins or loses, it’s important to have a plan for a safe ride home. If you’re going to drink alcohol, don’t get behind the wheel after the big game. 

Have a Plan to Get Home Safely  

Don’t wait until the end of the night to try to find a ride home. A plan can be as simple as using a ridesharing app or calling a cab. Designating a driver is also a great way to line up a safe ride home. Unfortunately, plans can always change at the last minute, so have a backup plan too.  

You don’t want to have to scramble to find a ride home at the end of the night. Whatever you do, don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking alcohol. Buzzed driving is drunk driving, and even one drink can be one drink too many.  

Buckle Up For Every Trip 

Fans are also being encouraged to buckle up on Super Bowl Sunday and all yearlong. Buckling up is the single most effective way to protect yourself in the event of a crash. You may not be able to help how other people are driving, but you can buckle up.
