LIMA__During this busy winter holiday season, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is teaming up with local law enforcement agencies to urge drivers to think twice before drinking and driving. Drivers will see officers working on a special high-visibility enforcement campaign to spread the message about the dangers of drunk driving from December 15, 2023, through January 1, 2024.
Tragically, December can be a dangerous time for people on the roads. During the 2017-2021 December months, there were more than 4,500 people killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. In December 2021 alone, 1,013 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. More parties and festivities celebrating the season bring out more drunk drivers.
What’s news at the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center? Plenty. Check out the following highlights from the “Happenings” newsletter or check out the publication in full HERE.
