This year, TxDOT, Santa,
and Santa’s reindeer have an
important message for Texas
drivers: Don’t drive if you’re
Tipsy, Buzzed or “Blitzen”;
call a cab or get a sober ride
home instead. For the 13^
consecutive year, TxDOT is
sponsoring a holiday-themed
public education campaign
to remind Texans not to get
behind the wheel if they’ve
been drinking.
From December Is* until
January 1st, which includes
the Christmas and New
Year’s holidays, Santa is not
the only one who’ll be busy.
Law enforcement agencies
will be making an extra effort
to spot—and stop—drunk
drivers. In Texas during
December 2009, more than
37.000 traffic crashes injured
18.000 people and killed 240
more. Of the 3,089 fatalities
on Texas roads in 2009, 956
were the result of alcohol-
related crashes. This makes
alcohol a factor in 30.9
percent of the fatal crashes in holiday season for everyone, have been drinking. Our
Texas. Penalties for a first- We are reminding drivers to advice is simple: Designate a
time DWI offense include celebrate responsibly and let sober driver in advance or call
driver’s license suspension for someone else drive if they a cab to get home safely,
up to one year, a fine of up to
$2,000 and up to six months
in jail.
Santa’s other helpers in the
DWI-prevention campaign
include the Texas Restaurant
Association, Texas Petroleum
Marketers and Convenience
Store Association, Texas
Alcoholic Beverage
Commission and Texas
Department of Public Safety.
Decals on cooler doors in
convenience stores and liquor
stores, as well as coasters
in bars and restaurants, wifi
deliver our sober driving
message in a fun way at a
crucial moment.....when
Texans are purchasing and
consuming alcohol.
A drunk driving arrest, a
car crash, or a trip to the
emergency room is definitely
not on anyone’s wish list!
Our wish list includes a safe
4-H he ps during
Delta County
Food Drive
The Delta County Christmas Food drive is well under
way and the 4-H members are playing a big role. 4-H
members wifi organize and deliver food for the Christmas
drive. On Friday, December 17, the kids wifi meet after
school to help organize and sack all the food, then Saturday
morning at 8:00 they wifi deliver the food. Parents with
vehicles are needed. Everyone is encouraged to gather
can goods and non-perishable items. Items can be taken
the County Extension office or Mrs. Rutledge’s 3rG grade
class at school.
