GOHS Wants Georgians to stay safe during St. Patrick’s Day

The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is warning all St. Patrick’s Day revelers about driving impaired: If you’re over the limit, you’ll be under arrest. No warnings. No excuses.

The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is taking special advantage of St. Patrick’s Day to remind drivers that if they don’t drive sober, they will get pulled over. From 6pm Wednesday March 16 to 6am on March 18 in 2014, 28 percent of all traffic fatalities involved drunk drivers. Just the hours between midnight and 6am on March 18 were even worse, with HALF of all fatalities involving drunk drivers.

In addition to warning Georgia motorists that increased enforcement on St. Patrick’s Day, the GOHS is asking partygoers to utilize the “Drive Sober, Georgia” smartphone app, which offers a database of safe and sober ride options throughout the state.

AAA is also offering their free Tow To Go program today through Friday and you don’t have to be a AAA member to take advantage of the program.
