Whether it is the commercials, halftime show or the game itself,
the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is reminding everyone
that we are all on the same team when it comes to being safe on
Super Bowl Sunday.
Super Bowl LV is this Sunday, February 7, 2021, and the LAPD will
have additional officers on patrol over the weekend looking for
drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs.
"If you are watching the game at home and plan to have a drink or
two, stay at home", LAPD Commander Woodyard said. "Have a family
member who hasn't been drinking go out on your behalf or have
your food delivered."
The LAPD reminds the public that alcohol is not the only thing
that impairs and may lead to a DUI. Prescription drugs,
over-the-counter medications and marijuana may affect your
ability to drive safely. Do your research and understand how a
drug affects you before deciding whether or not you are safe to
drive.
California's public health guidance advises to limit mixing with
people you don't live with as much as possible to limit the
spread of COVID-19. Although many watch parties will be virtual
this year, it is important to plan ahead, designate a sober
driver, or simply stay at home for the night.
