Football Season
Traffic safety campaigns
TxDOT's statewide impaired driving football season campaign reminds motorists of the deadly risks of impaired driving and urges them to drive sober and drive like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe.
Football season is a chance to cheer for favorite teams and make great memories with friends and family, but making it home safely after each game is the winning touchdown. Whether you're tailgating or watching the game at a friend's place or bar, if you consume any amount of alcohol, THC or any other substance that can impair you, always choose a sober ride. Any high is a DWI.
There are many ways to get a sober ride. You can designate a driver ahead of time who won't be consuming any amount of alcohol or other drugs, call a sober friend or family member to come get you, take a rideshare or taxi service, use public transit or stay where you are until you're sober. If a rideshare seems expensive, share the ride with a friend or a group of friends so everyone can get home safely.
