Kentuckians reminded to make Halloween safer by drinking responsibly
As Halloween approaches, transportation officials are reminding Kentuckians that “Buzzed driving is drunk driving.”
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says Kentuckians should plan a safe ride home if their Halloween festivities will include alcohol. With people heading out to celebrate and children heading out to trick or treat, the KYTC says it is critical to watch your surroundings and keep everybody safe.
The KYTC’s Office of Highway Safety says last year in Kentucky, in the week leading up to and including Halloween there were 84 alcohol-involved collisions that resulted in two deaths and 43 injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says about one third of all traffic crash fatalities across the country involve drunk driving.
The KYTC says to designate a sober driver, use public transportation, or request a ride share even if you only have one alcoholic drink. Walking while impaired can also be dangerous, so designate a sober friend to walk you home. If you see somebody impaired that is about to drive, take their keys and help them make arrangements to get home safely. If you see a drunk driver, contact the Kentucky State Police or local law enforcement to report the vehicle’s description, location, direction of travel, and license plate if possible.
