La Crosse County Traffic Safety Task Force will join hundreds of other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin to combat drunken driving during the annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” national campaign from August 19 to September 5, 2016.

Rather than risk a drunken driving arrest or crash, the La Crosse County Traffic Safety Task Force encourages you to follow these common sense suggestions:

Choose a sober designated driver before you start drinking.

    If you’re feeling buzzed, you likely are over the 0.08 BAC limit and should not drive.

Take mass transit, a taxicab or ask a sober friend to drive you home.

The Zero In Wisconsin traffic safety program has a free “Drive Sober” mobile app that can be downloaded by visiting zeroinwisconsin.gov

The La Crosse Tavern League has a program which provides patrons with a free

   safe ride home. Visit www.tlw.org/ and click on Safe Ride or call 608-881-2050.

Report impaired drivers to law enforcement by calling 911.
