MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is kicking off its annual Tie One On for Safety campaign, an effort dedicated to recognizing the importance of designated drivers. The holiday season is about to begin, spanning from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day. MADD encourages all drivers to stay safe, sober, and vigilant to ensure roadway safety and help prevent impaired driving incidents.
The period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is among the most dangerous on the nation’s roadways due to increased travel and holiday gatherings. It is crucial to plan ahead and utilize designated drivers, rideshare services, and other safe travel options to prevent impaired driving tragedies.
“Impaired driving affects everyone in our community,” said Brent Miller. “In Washington County, our priority is to keep our families, friends, and neighbors safe on the roads. We are committed to doing whatever it takes to prevent impaired driving and protect lives this holiday season.”
To show your support, tie a red ribbon on your vehicle or post a digital ribbon across social media platforms. The red ribbon symbolizes a commitment to never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Together, we can ensure everyone arrives home safely this holiday season.
