Kick Off Super Bowl LVIII with a Go Safely Game Plan on the roads

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – As the excitement builds for Super Bowl LVIII, the South Lake Tahoe Police Department (SLTPD) reminds football fans to intercept impaired driving if they are heading out to a Super Bowl party and plan on drinking. Make sure you stick to the “Go Safely” game plan and choose a sober way to go.

During Super Bowl LVIII weekend (Feb. 10 and 11), SLTPD will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

“Whether you are rooting for the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs, let us all enjoy this weekend safely,” said SLTPD Sgt. Justin Brock. “Before you grab a drink, plan ahead for a sober designated driver. Choosing a safer way to go is a win-win for everyone.”

SLTPD reminds the public that alcohol is not the only substance that impairs drivers. Marijuana, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs may
also impair your ability to drive safely. Do your research and understand how certain drugs may affect you.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
