The State’s Attorney’s Office for Charles County (SAO) celebrates 5 years of safe driving!
During the holiday season and year round, the SAO asks you to DRIVE SOBER. Your life and the lives of others depend on it.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, one person dies every 50 minutes as a result of drunk driving. New data shows 64.7% of crash victims tested positive for at least one active drug (including alcohol) from March 17 to July 18, 2020, compared to 50.8% before COVID-19 (September 10, 2019, to March 16, 2020).
The SAO is committed to help reduce that number to zero. The “Drive Sober” initiative will run during the holiday season (November 24, 2025 through January 1, 2026) – which is one of the deadliest times on the roadways due to drunk driving.
The SAO will continue to distribute rideshare gift cards, nonalcoholic drink vouchers, and keychain breathalyzers throughout the initiative.
