The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event. That’s why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the California Office of Traffic Safety and law enforcement officials statewide are urging football fans to call the play now: drinking or driving.

The Avoid the 6-El Dorado County DUI Task Force will be deploying roving DUI saturations patrols during and following Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup.

NHTSA’s Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk campaign encourages people to make plans ahead of time that will prevent them from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking. Driving impaired could result in injury or death for you or others on the road.

According to 2014 data, 9,967 people were killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes in the United States
– 31 percent of all vehicle crash fatalities in the nation, with crashes spiking on the weekends. California’s
2014 data reveals that 882 individuals were killed in DUI crashes.
