OSHP is reminding drivers who are out celebrating this weekend not to drink and drive. Drivers should have a plan in place before they go out and party.
“The biggest problem I’ve seen in my career is people... they go out and party and celebrate but they didn’t make good plans in the beginning and once you’re under the influence you tend not to make better decisions. So have a plan ahead of time. Make sure you have something set up or someplace that you’re staying before you ever leave. That should be your first thing,” cautions Ohio State Highway Patrol Sgt. Chris Colbert.
Sgt. Colbert says getting home safely should be everyone’s goal this weekend.
