The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Region 7, which encompasses Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Arkansas, is reminding Super Bowl LV celebrants that everyone wins if we work together to prevent drunk driving. Local law enforcement agencies will show zero tolerance for impaired driving and there will be enhanced enforcement on Super Bowl Sunday. So whether you are rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, make a game plan to not drink and drive. “Everyone wants to see their team win Super Bowl LV, but make sure you enjoy the big day safely,” says NHTSA Regional Administrator, Susan DeCourcy. “We need a commitment from our community members that they’ll keep the streets free of impaired drivers so that everyone can have a safe ride home. We want to remind everyone that driving drunk is illegal and it takes lives. Help us protect the community and put an end to this dangerous and senseless behavior,” she adds.
