Don’t Risk It on 4/20: Plan for a Sober Driver
From Police Department
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is teaming up with the Franklin Lakes Police Department to urge drivers to stay sober behind the wheel. Saturday, April 20, 2024, marks the unofficial marijuana “holiday,” and there will likely be an increase in marijuana use. Marijuana laws are changing constantly across the country, but one thing remains: Impaired driving is illegal and deadly. NHTSA is reminding all drivers: If You Feel Different, You Drive Different.
“It doesn’t matter what you call it, if you are impaired, do not get behind the wheel of a vehicle,” said Chief Mark McCombs. “We are asking our community members to use good judgement, obey the law, and make safe choices when driving a vehicle. Your decisions don’t just affect you — they affect everyone on the road.”
