Prevention

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has prepared materials for use by law enforcement and public safety personnel for the following upcoming public safety and prevention campaigns:

• Winter Driving Tips (January 1-February 29, 2024). When winter sets in, will your vehicle be ready for the cold? Are you prepared to drive in inclement weather such as heavy rain, snow, and ice?

• Super Bowl Sunday Impaired Driving Prevention Campaign (February 11, 2024). Each year, millions of Super Bowl viewers take the opportunity to cheer on their favorite team with a night out. If you plan to drink alcohol, plan for a sober ride home. If you’re hosting a party, take care of your guests.

• Vehicle Safety Recalls Week (March 4-10, 2024). If your car has a recall, get it fixed – it could save a life. Also, check your car for recalls at least twice a year and sign up to receive alerts about new recalls.

• Saint Patrick’s Day Impaired Driving Prevention Campaign (March 17, 2024). This day of celebration is one of the biggest drinking occasions of the year and, unfortunately, means more drunk drivers on the roads. If you plan to drink, make sure you refrain from driving and make a plan to get home safely.
