Be safe while you’re celebrating the last long weekend of the summer.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada Chief Executive Officer Andrew Murie is encouraging everyone to spend some time thinking about how you’ll get home before you go out.
He says if you’re going to be drinking or consuming drugs, you need to plan a sober ride home.
Statistics from MADD Canada show that hundreds of people are killed and thousands are injured in Canada every year in crashes involving alcohol and or drugs.
Murie adds not only should you never drive a motor vehicle while impaired, but that you should also never ride with an impaired driver.
The advocacy group notes cabs or designated drivers are just a few of the safe, sober and reliable options for making it home alive.
