Prom season and safe driving

Posted by Staff on April 21, 2023 - 9:02am

Saturday, April 22 is prom night for Bluffton High School.

Prom is an exciting time for high school students and it should be a night to remember. Make it memorable for all the right reasons–keep the celebrations free of alcohol and drive safe. Area law enforcement will have extra enforcement scheduled for prom weekends. The Lima/Allen County Safe Community Coalition wants to remind young drivers to be especially cautious during these special celebrations. With all the excitement that comes with Prom, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment. Just remember, it only takes a moment for your life to change forever. 

Remember to:

Drive Responsibly - Prom nights are among the most lethal for young people. About 5,000 are injured or killed nationwide in traffic crashes in a typical prom weekend.
