This Labor Day weekend, let’s all pledge to be responsible. If you plan to drink, plan for a sober ride home. 🚫🍻 Otherwise, you’ll risk it all. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

Drinking and driving will change your whole world. Hand the keys to a sober driver before your world gets turned upside down by a DUI… or worse.
