For example, California law enforcement\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibtimes.com\/super-bowl-sunday-drunk-driving-police-increase-dui-patrols-aaa-offers-free-rides-1800350\">historically sees\u00a0a 77% increase in drunk driving crashes<\/a> on the big day in comparison to\u00a0regular Sundays. As a result, many jurisdictions plan to ramp up DUI patrols and checkpoints this&#160;weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched its annual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/About+NHTSA\/Press+Releases\/2015\/fans-urged-to-designate-sober-driver-on-super-bowl-sunday\">\u201cFans Don\u2019t Let Fans Drive Drunk\u201d<\/a> campaign to get the word out about the dangers of drunk driving during and after the Super Bowl. In addition, NHTSA has created some tips to help fans end the night&#160;safely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Before <\/em>Super Bowl Sunday, make a game plan that includes a sober driver \u2013 someone who is not drinking at&#160;all.<\/li>\n<li>Walking impaired can be just as dangerous as drunk driving. Designate a sober friend to walk you&#160;home.<\/li>\n<li>Thank the designated sober drivers at your party. You could even acknowledge them on social media using the hashtag&#160;#designateddriver.<\/li>\n<li>Remember, if you serve a guest alcohol and he or she gets in a drunk-driving crash that night, you could be held&#160;liable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What are you\u00a0doing to intercept drunk driving during and after the Super&#160;Bowl?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.scramsystems.com\/7-leading-trends-in-alcohol-testing-technologies-white-paper?utm_source=sobering%20up&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=7%20trends%20white%20paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/trands-wp-download.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2014, nearly half of all American households watched the Super Bowl.
