December marks National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, a critical initiative to combat the dangers of impaired driving during the holiday season. Impaired driving, involving alcohol, drugs, or substances impairing driving abilities, poses a significant public safety concern.
Throughout December, heightened law enforcement patrols and sobriety checkpoints aim to deter impaired driving incidents. It is imperative never to operate a vehicle while impaired, as it contributes to accidents, injuries, and fatalities. The ILCC urges individuals to plan safe alternatives like designated drivers, rideshares, taxis, or public transport.
Prioritize safety this holiday season—for yourself, your loved ones, and all Illinois residents.
