We remind our community:
• Never drink and drive.
• Don’t let someone get behind the wheel if that person has been drinking.
• If you’re hosting a gathering, make sure everyone has a sober ride home.
• Call 911 if you see a drunk driver.
• Always wear your seat belt. It’s your best defense against impaired drivers.
Stay safe Novato!
