DOT: Designate a sober Super Bowl driver

In case you hadn’t forgotten, what with the Patriots’ disheartening loss in the playoffs, the Super Bowl XLI is on Sunday.

As you gear up to the watch the game – will you do so, here in New England? – the state Department of Transportation is urging you to plan ahead, celebrate wisely and designate a sober driver to get you home after the game.

The DOT is teaming up with the National Football League and a coalition called Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management to urge safety for Sunday’s game pitting the Indianapolis Colts against the Chicago Bears.

“We’re reminding everyone this weekend that Super Bowl Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk,” DOT Director Jerome F. Williams said in a statement issued today. “If your game plan includes celebrating with alcohol, whether it’s this weekend or any other, make sure you have a designated driver on your team.”
