ILLINOIS — The Super Bowl brings together families, friends, fans – and the potential for too much partying before the trip home.

This Super Bowl Sunday, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement across the state are huddling and calling a play that needs the cooperation of all fans – “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket.”

“Before the game, designate a driver or make other arrangements for a safe, sober ride home,” said Cynthia Watters, IDOT’s bureau chief of Safety Programs and Engineering. “Sober driving isn’t the only law that should be followed. Make sure everyone in the vehicle wears their seat belts. It’s your best defense in a crash.”

Law enforcement will be working throughout the state on gameday to keep impaired drivers off the roads. Motorists can expect to see an increase in safety patrols, seat belt enforcement zones and roadside safety checks.
