ST. PATRICK'S DAY SAFETY - DESIGNATE A SOBER DRIVER

In Ocean City, St. Patrick's Day is known to be one of the most celebrated holidays in Town. Unfortunately, for a holiday that has a glowing reputation of fun, is also associated with a reputation of drunk driving.

According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 37 percent of the motor vehicle traffic fatalities during St. Patrick's Day 2009 involved at least one driver or motorcyclist with a blood alcohol content of .08 grams or above. In addition, 103 crashes resulted in fatalities. "Even if you think you've had only a few drinks and are just feeling 'buzzed', don't press your luck," commented Chief Bernadette DiPino. "Buzzed driving is drunk driving."

Buzzed driving and getting caught is a cash cow for the state.

Don't feed the bears.

Let the sob's starve and have to get out and work for a living.
