Celebrate Cinco de Mayo Responsibly
Temecula, Calif. – The Riverside Sheriff’s Office encourages the public to celebrate Cinco de Mayo responsibly by planning ahead and designating a sober driver.
“Don’t put yourself and others on the road at risk by driving impaired,” Corporal Trevor Downs said. “If you’re planning to celebrate with a drink or two, leave your keys at home and designate a sober driver.”
The Riverside Sheriff’s Office wants to warn the community that alcohol is not the only substance that can cause impairment. Marijuana, prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may also impair. Do your research and understand how certain drugs may affect your driving ability.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
