Buzzed driving is drunk driving Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) holiday reminder for drivers/riders This holiday season, the Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP), a division of the Department of Driver Services (DDS), is teaming up with the National High way Traffic Safety Adminis tration (NHTSA) to remind all drivers and riders that Buzzed Driving Is Dmnk Driving and to always plan a sober ride before the holiday parties begin. GMSP Manager Tom Komjathy states; “too many people take to the roadways after consuming alcohol be cause they think they are “okay to drive.” During the holiday season, festive par ties and celebrations with al cohol contribute to the number of impaired vehicle operators on our roadways. Please, separate the con sumption of alcohol with the operation of any vehicle, on any road/highway.” Any consumption of alco hol can impair your judgment and reaction times, making it unsafe for you to drive. Buzzed Driving Is Drank Driving is a nationwide im paired driving campaign to inform all vehicle operators about the dangers of driving after drinking. Drank driving kills thou sands of people in our coun try every year. In 2015, 35,092 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes on our roadways, and 29 per cent (10,265) died in crashes that involved a driver/rider with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit of .08. This time of year is espe cially dangerous. In Decem ber 2015 alone, there were 840 people killed in crashes involving at least one drank driver or motorcycle opera tor. This holiday season, GMSP and NHTSA urge you to designate a sober driver before you start drinking. Before heading out for a ride, decide whether you’11 drink or you’ll ride/drive. If you choose to drink, designate a sober, reliable person to drive. If you plan to ride or drive, commit to not drink ing. There are also other op tions to get you home safely. UseNHTSA’s SaferRideApp to find a cab, call a sober friend, or use public trans portation. Many restaurants and bars also offer a courtesy designated driver service. Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) The Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) is a part of the Georgia Depart ment of Driver Services. In addition to offering rider ed ucation and licensing pro grams, the GMSP also promotes motorist awareness programs, share the road campaigns, and is focused on highway safety issues affect ing Georgia motorcyclists. The GMSP directly operates training sites throughout Georgia. GMSP offers low cost, professional training to assist riders in improving their skills with a Basic Rid ers Course; Basic Rider Course 2 (Formally the “Ex perienced Rider Course”) and an Advanced Riders Course.
