The Clermont Police Department Traffic Enforcement Unit, would like to pass this message on: Do you know you’ll be going out to drink and party with friends? No problem, have a designated driver who will remain sober to drive. Don’t want to be left out as a designated driver? No problem, all of you leave your cars at home and take an Uber or Lyft. But please, drink responsibly. All it takes is one choice, one moment to change the outcome of your life and potentially the life of others. Choose not to drink and drive, you’ll be saving your life and preventing the potential death of someone else as a result of your actions. “Save a life, don’t drink and drive!”
