Drive Sober Pre Labor Day Campaign
08/11/2025
Join the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s safety initiative to educate the public about the importance of sober driving. If You Feel Different, You Drive Different. Drive High, Get a DUI. is a national high-visibility enforcement drug-impaired-driving prevention campaign that urges drivers to understand the importance of sober driving and is supported by increased law enforcement.
· If you’re planning to use marijuana or any impairing drug, do not drive. Designate a sober driver who won’t be using any drugs or call a ridesharing service or taxi. Someone who’s high shouldn’t be making decisions about driving; that’s why planning ahead is key.
· It doesn’t matter what term you use — high, stoned, or wasted — never get behind the wheel after using an impairing substance.
· In every state and territory, it is illegal to drive under the influence of drugs — no exceptions.
· Whether the drug is legally obtained or not, drug-impaired driving poses a threat to everyone on the road.
