This national initiative focuses on reducing traffic crashes and preventing impaired driving, making the roads safer for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Super Bowl parties are a great way to enjoy the big game.&nbsp; We want our fellow Kentuckians to enjoy themselves during the Super Bowl weekend.&#8221; said KSP Post Captain Doug Carter. &#8221; To make sure we all get home safely, troopers will be out enforcing impaired driving laws.&nbsp; Do not get a penalty, have a designated driver.&nbsp; Arriving home safely is the only touchdown that matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KSP\u2019s Operation C.A.R.E. blitz aims to intercept potential traffic violations such as speeding, impaired or distracted driving and failure to wear seatbelts before they turn into dangerous situations. Just like a good defensive line, KSP troopers will be on the lookout to block any unsafe driving behavior from making it into the end zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help drivers score a win for safety, KSP offers the following tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Have a Game Plan<\/strong> \u2013 If you plan to drink during your Super Bowl festivities, arrange a designated driver, call a ride-share service or stay overnight at your host\u2019s house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wear Your Safety Gear<\/strong> \u2013 Buckling up is your best defense against impaired or distracted drivers. Remember, seatbelts save lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Give the Playmakers Room<\/strong> \u2013 Move over for first responders and emergency vehicles. Kentucky law requires motorists to switch lanes or slow down to ensure safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stay Focused<\/strong> \u2013 Keep distractions like your phone on the sidelines while driving. Stay alert and keep your eyes on the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spot a driver who appears impaired or is engaging in dangerous behavior, report it to your nearest KSP Post or local law enforcement agency.
