Team Kentucky is reminding everyone that buzzed driving is drunk driving this St. Patrick’s Day and encourage those consuming alcohol to plan ahead by designating a sober ride home.
“Even one drink can impair the way you drive,” said Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray. “Having a plan in place beforehand to make sure you have a sober ride home is essential because ‘buzzed driving is drunk driving.’”
To mitigate the potential for drunk driving during the holiday weekend, the cabinet offered five tips including planning ahead, wearing a seatbelt, and walking or using public transit.
Over the past three years, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reported 52 crashes statewide related to a drunk driver on St. Patrick’s Day, resulting in 37 injuries and seven fatalities.
