Real Montanans don’t drive impaired. Small-town hero Troy Andersen knows this all too well.
As Montanans, we have a responsibility to keep our communities safe. One of the easiest ways to do this is by planning for a sober ride home.
That means having a plan to get home or stay somewhere safe that won’t require driving under the influence. Designating a sober driver before the drinking starts is one of the easiest strategies.
Besides planning and getting a sober ride home, here’s what you can do to keep our community safe.
If you see something, say something
If you notice that your friend is too impaired to drive, get them a sober ride home and do not let them drive. A moment of awkward tension is worth saving their life.
Don’t overserve your friends
If you’re hosting, pace your friends and family. It’s your responsibility to make sure they get home safely, so don’t allow anyone to drive if they are impaired.
Step up
Volunteer yourself as a sober driver.
“To protect my family, friends and community, I always plan for a sober ride home.”
