The holidays are a time to get together with our friends and family, eat some delicious food, have a few laughs, and even a few drinks.

You might want to stop by your favorite downtown bar to grab a few drinks and spend time with the people you care about. If that's the case, you might want to make sure you have a safe way home.

Did you know that between 2017 and 2021 (during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend), 830 people died in crashes involving drunk drivers? This, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 

Did you also know that the Thanksgiving holiday ranks third for holidays with the most issued DUIs? This, according to Khunterlaw.com.

So, how do we avoid fatal crashes and DUIs? The answers are pretty simple: have a designated driver, don't drink, or use Uber or Lyft.

$10 Ride Vouchers

Vision Zero ND is doing something pretty great to keep people safe this holiday season. They are calling it "ND Sober Ride." The organization is offering $10 rider vouchers to people using Lyft. -- In a lot of cases, that is pretty much the entire ride fare.

You can take advantage of this from November 22nd through November 25th.

You simply type in their voucher code when booking your Lyft.

Code: VZTURKEY23

A Safe Season

While I hope your Thanksgiving season is fun, exciting, and filled with laughs, I also hope it's a safe one. Happy holidays, and remember: Don't drink and drive.
