Vergennes Police Officer Mark Stacey, the Governor’s Highway Safety Patrol coordinator for Addison County, is alerting locals that law enforcement agencies are mounting a Super Bowl Drunk Driving Prevention Campaign.
The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event. On Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3, there will be lots of game day socializing that may include drinking. That’s why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is urging football fans to plan ahead a safe ride home.
NHTSA’s Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk campaign encourages people to make plans ahead of time that will prevent them from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking. Driving drunk could result in injury or death for you or others on the road.
During Super Bowl weekend, the Vergennes Police Department and other law enforcement agencies will be conducting sobriety checkpoints. The checkpoints will be set up throughout Addison County to make sure the roadways are safe for everyone to travel.
