KNOW THE STATS
- If you find yourself buzzed after a parade, please catch a ride. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. Don’t drive buzzed.
- This Mardi Gras know that your medication side effects may include a DUI. Whether it is over-the-counter medication or prescription drugs, there is more than one way to be under the influence.
- “I didn’t think I’d get caught” is a lousy excuse for drinking and driving. Alcohol-involved crashes killed almost 200 people in Louisiana last year. If you plan to drink, plan for a sober ride.
- Destination Zero Deaths reminds you to always Drive Sober so you can celebrate Mardi Gras responsibly year after year.
- This Mardi Gras if you’re high, don’t drive. Your friends and family can tell when you’re high and so can law enforcement. Driving high is impaired driving and it’s illegal. If you feel different, you drive different.
