  • KILLING SOMEONE IS A HASSLE
  • Finding a designated driver is an inconvenience.
  • In 2014, 9,967 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (31%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.
  • Of the 1,070 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2014, 209 (19%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver. These stats courtesy cdc.gov

If you are going out on New Years Eve and plan to have a drink it is well worth your while to have a designated driver. Don't know one? It would be well worth the money to pay a non drinking friend $100. to drive you on your night out.

If you are active duty military on the Minot Air Force Base there is an organization called Airman Against Drunk Driving that will give you a ride home if you give them a call. Check with your white shirt for that number.

Thank you Beth Atalay . We have had a couple of good sunny days now and there is no snow in the forcast for the next week so hopefully the Minot Street Department will get things cleaned up.

This is a timely reminder for all of us. Drinking and driving are not a good mix.

Dolores and I will be celebrating at home.

Bob, I used Uber for the first time for transportation to my office Christmas party.  Didn't have to park around Dupont Circle or worry about getting stopped on the way home!

Good morning Bob. I didn't know what to make of your title. That said your words were powerful and important. Happy New Year.

Thank you Sheila Anderson . Drunken Driving is so unnecessary and so devastating. I know that here in Minot ND there are plenty of good organizations that would be happy to take the wheel for someone smart enough to realize that they had "to much fun" to drive.

I'm glad people are more aware of drunkin driving more than ever Lou Ludwig , I hope it doesn't take so many years for people to learn the same about distracted driving by driving while texting.
