FHP: What’s Your Game Plan For Super Bowl Sunday?
February 1, 2015
The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event. Today, many Super Bowl parties will feature pizza, wings, and yes…alcohol. That’s why the Florida Highway Patrol is urging football fans to choose sides before the game: are you drinking OR driving?
“Impaired driving is completely preventable,” said Colonel David Brierton, director of the Florida Highway Patrol. “All it takes is a little planning ahead. We want fans to remember that it is a choice. Drink or drive—but, never do both.”
FHP’s game plan for a safe Sunday:
- Make transportation arrangements before you begin drinking.
- Designate a sober driver, call a taxi, or use public transportation to get home safely.
- Even one drink increases the risk of a crash while driving. Do not let anyone who has been drinking get behind the wheel.
- If you see an impaired driver on the road, call *FHP (*347).
Play a key role on Super Bowl Sunday—if you aren’t going to drink, volunteer to be a designated driver, you may just keep someone from becoming a tragic game day statistic, according to the FHP.

True article and comments. And, I am with 429SCJ. Just going to enjoy the day, but at home. It is raining. Relaxing.
I just watch the superbowl for the commercials.
This article is being nice. Only idiots drink and drive. You will be remembered as the idiot for doing it when you’re dead and the wreck on NE.
Today will be a good day to get out as most people will be glued and focused on their television set.
A large group of players, owned by a smaller group of team owners, and commissioned over by men who never even picked up a ball?
I am not going to attempt to figure it all out, I am just going to enjoy the day.
Listen to the Colonel sports fans, DUI’s are no fun!!!
