Give the gift of a safe ride

SGI is shining the December Traffic Safety Spotlight on the options available for getting home

safe this holiday season. "December is a time for celebration. We know that many drivers in Saskatchewan will be attending or hosting holiday parties," said JP Cullen, Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund.

"If you're making plans to celebrate the season, we encourage you to make use of the safe ride options you have available, so we can all get home safe."

In 2023, 29 people were killed and 338 were injured in impaired driving collisions, so it's more important than ever to use your skills as a safe ride MVP and give the gift of a safe, sober ride this holiday season. Help a friend get home or use one of the many safe ride options available.

No need to make your own list, SGI has you covered (and we've checked it twice)!

• Designate a sober driver, or volunteer to be one.
• Call a sober friend or family member.
• Take the bus.
• Catch a cab, use a designated driving service, or order a rideshare.
• Stay the night.

Don't forget seasonal safe ride options too, like Operation Red Nose and Ride for Free on NYE. No matter which option you choose, at the end of the night, always #FindASafeRide.
