REGINA — For November’s Traffic Safety Spotlight, SGI wants to remind drivers across Saskatchewan that we all have a part to play in preventing impaired driving.
Don’t miss your chance to make a difference for the people you care about. This month, if you’re out celebrating with friends and family, why not step up to take your turn as the designated driver?
“We all want our loved ones to get home safe,” said JP Cullen, chief operating officer of the Auto Fund. “Be the MVP among your friends and family this year by volunteering to be the designated driver.”
Last year, drug and/or alcohol impairment was a factor in 32 per cent of traffic fatalities in Saskatchewan.
As the holiday season approaches and social gatherings and parties become more frequent, remember your safe ride options: 
- Take a cab, rideshare or use a designated driving service, 
- Use public transit,
- Stay the night, or
- Call your designated driver.
You’ve also got options if you’re in a more remote location. Call a friend, ask for a ride from a family member, stay the night or be the MVP yourself by staying sober and designating yourself as the safe driver.
