Super Bowl prompts increased NHP patrols

The Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety is urging Nevadans to not drink and drive on Super Bowl Sunday.

Now through Feb. 9 more than 20 law enforcement agencies are participating in Joining Forces to target impaired drivers.

Impaired driving messages are delivered year-round, yet when the Super Bowl celebrations begin, law enforcement officials increase their vigilance.

Zero Fatalities offers these tips to keep the community safe:

• Before going out, plan a safe and sober way to return to your home.

• Designate a sober driver, not a driver who agrees to drink less.

• Reserve a hotel room.

• If you see a drunken driver, contact local police by calling *NHP or 911.

• If people you know are about to drive impaired, take their keys and help get them a ride with a sober driver.
