King City Police Department Advises Drivers To Plan Ahead This Holiday Season: Be Safe and Drive Sober

King City, Calif. – Millions of people will be traveling to visit friends and family over the holidays. The King

City Police Department encourages everyone to celebrate safely and have a holiday game plan that

includes a designated sober driver.

During the pre-Christmas and New Year’s holiday season Nov. 28-Dec. 13, the King City Police Department

will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of

alcohol and/or drugs.

“We want everyone to enjoy the holidays and be safe,” said Sergeant Anthony Shaw. “If you plan to go

out and celebrate, make sure you plan ahead and find a safe, sober ride home because driving impaired

should never be an option.”

Drunk driving is a problem on our nation’s roads every day, but it’s more prevalent during the holidays.

During the 2016-2020 December months, there were more than 4,400 people killed in drunk-driving-

related crashes.

The King City Police Department reminds drivers that a “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescription

medications, over-the-counter drugs and marijuana can also impair, especially in combination with

alcohol and other drugs.

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

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
