The Super Bowl returns tomorrow and law enforcement agencies are reminding Iowans to be safe while on the road. 

The Perry Police Department is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to remind drivers: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. 

Perry Police Chief Jim Archer says anyone planning to attend a Super Bowl party should either plan for a designated driver or not indulge in drinking. People hosting a party should prepare plenty of food and non-alcoholic drink options for guests, especially for the designated drivers. 

Archer adds that the designated driver is the night’s real MVP and should keep that commitment from kickoff until time expires.

“Super Bowl is a special event each year for our community to come together to celebrate, but we need responsible drivers on our roads. If you are planning to be away from home during Super Bowl LX, make a game plan to ensure you don’t find yourself without a designated driver if you need one. If you’re hosting a party, take care of your designated drivers. Remind your friends and family: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.”

Local authorities are urging everyone to celebrate Super Bowl LX safely by making a plan before the festivities begin. The most important step is arranging for a sober ride in advance — whether that means designating a sober driver, using a taxi service, or booking a rideshare. Community members are also encouraged to report suspected impaired drivers to local law enforcement.

Law enforcement agencies remind Iowans to drive 100% sober, because Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. For more information on impaired driving, click here.
