As millions of Americans gear up for Thanksgiving gatherings, MADD is reminding everyone to plan ahead and make safety a priority. With both holiday #travel and impaired driving on the rise, #Thanksgiving is one of the busiest and most dangerous times to be on the road. To keep the season joyous, it’s essential to arrange a safe ride home before the festivities begin. Whether it’s designating a sober driver, using a rideshare, or opting for public transportation, making the safe choice has never been easier. MADD is also encouraging Thanksgiving hosts to play an active role in keeping everyone safe. By helping guests plan a safe way home or offering them a place to stay, hosts can significantly reduce the risk of impaired driving crashes and make this holiday season safer for all. #ImpairedDrivingEndsHere

Allow extra time for your travels. 🔵 Stay Sober: If you're planning to enjoy some holiday festivities, please designate a sober driver or use a rideshare service. Never drive under the influence. 🔵 Buckle Up: Make sure everyone in your vehicle is wearing their seatbelt.

Avoid using your phone or engaging in other distractions while driving. 🔵 Check Your Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle is in good condition. Check tire pressure, fluid levels, and brakes before embarking on your trip. 🔵 Keep Emergency Supplies: Carry an emergency kit that includes water, snacks, a flashlight, and first-aid supplies just in case. As we approach this holiday, let’s work together to keep our roads safe. Enjoy your Thanksgiving celebrations and drive safely!
