As another long weekend approaches and many have off from work, plans for parties and end of summer picnics are planned.
Did you know that in 2008, just over the Labor Day holiday weekend, 194 people were killed in crashes involving an impaired driver?
This Labor Day Weekend, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ad Council are trying to remind people to plan ahead and designate a sober driver for any Labor Day celebration because "Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving."
In Jacksonville, Designated Drivers are available 24/7.

Buzzed driving is drunk driving. Getting behind the wheel after even just one too many drinks can lead to disaster. It is critical to be prepared. One of the best ways to be prepared is to know your options for alternative transportation.
Check out the list of sober/safe ride programs across the country. Find one in your area, and save the number in your cell phone so you always have it on you.
