The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and other police agencies reminded Cinco De Mayo revelers to designate a sober driver ahead of their celebrations this week.
“Don’t ruin the celebrations by putting yourself and others at risk and driving impaired,” said Capt. Shane Matthews of the Camarillo Police Department’s Traffic Bureau in a news release.
“If you’re planning on drinking, plan on getting a sober ride home.”
The sheriff’s office reminded residents that drugs, like marijuana and prescribed medications, can impair driving as much as alcohol. Driving after taking medications that have warning labels that read “do not operate heavy machinery,” “may cause drowsiness” or something similar can be dangerous.
