DC Road Rules

[WRAP.org @WRAP_org]

Well over a third (38%) of U.S. traffic deaths during the Labor Day holiday involve drunk drivers (@NHTSAgov, 2018). This Labor Day, please #DriveSober. ☀️🌭🚔

[DC Road Rules @dcroadrules]

The best way to play it safe over the Labor Day holiday is to always plan ahead. If you are going to have a drink, #makeaplan for a ride home. Drunk and drugged driving is deadly.

Make sure to wait for the walk and use crosswalks when available. #pedestriansafety

A pedestrian struck by a vehicle at 25 mph has a 25 percent chance of sustaining a serious or fatal injury. This risk increases to 50 percent if the vehicle is traveling at 33 mph and to 75 percent at 41 mph. #SlowDownDc #20isplenty

Although drunk-driving-related deaths have decreased over the past three decades, they still claim more than 10,000 lives per year. #DriveSober

Let’s work together to continue to decrease this number with a few simple steps:

We’re continuing our focus on the past 50 years of highway safety with a look at impaired driving prevention. Join us this week as we highlight several campaigns dedicated to saving lives. https://t.co/qPaZXS2lLC

[DC Road Rules @dcroadrules]

Reduced speeds save lives. That’s why the District dropped its speed limit to 20mph on local roads. #SlowDownDC #pedestriansafety

Tomorrow: Join NHTSA for a virtual press conference launching this year's Labor Day alcohol- and drug-impaired driving prevention campaigns. #ImpairedDriving #DriveSober #RideSober https://t.co/W2BcC7zD1K

If you are going out tonight remember to stay sober if you are driving. #Buzzeddriving is drunk driving.
