A DWI can follow you long after one night out. The consequences can include fines and fees, jail time, loss of a driver’s license, court appearances, higher insurance costs and lasting regret. Always make the safe choice: plan a sober ride home. #DriveLikeATexan

Friends can make a difference. If someone is impaired, step in before they drive. Offer a ride, help call a rideshare, take the keys or encourage them to stay put. #DriveLikeATexan

A safe ride should be part of every weekend plan. Before you head out, designate a sober driver, call a rideshare, ask someone you trust or stay put until you are sober. #DriveLikeATexan

Alcohol affects your ability to drive long before you may “feel” impaired. Even small amounts can impact judgment, coordination and reaction time. Make a plan before you drink. Your safety and others depend on it. #DriveLikeATexan

Decide how you’re getting home before alcohol is involved. Impaired driving doesn’t start at the wheel — it starts when there’s no plan. A sober ride protects you, your passengers and everyone else on the road. #DriveLikeATexan

Going out tonight? Your keys don’t have to come with you. If alcohol or other impairing substances are part of the evening, leave the driving to someone sober. Plan the ride. Enjoy the night. Get home safe. #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan

End the weekend safely. Food, water and caffeine do not sober you up — only time can. If you’re impaired, don’t drive. Call a ride, stay put or ask someone sober for help. #DriveSoberNoRegrets #DriveLikeATexan
