A "Safe Ride" home isn’t luck—it’s a plan!
April is Alcohol Awareness Month

If alcohol is part of your plans, take a few simple steps to protect yourself and others:
• Choose a sober driver
• Plan your ride before you go out
• Stay overnight if needed

Rural roads can make impaired driving even more dangerous with long distances and limited lighting.

Take advantage of the Waushara County Tavern League Safe Ride Program in Waushara County—just ask your bartender, it's FREE!

Better safe than sorry.
