SAN DIEGO - Super Bowl Sunday continually ranks as one of the most dangerous times of the year for drunk driving deaths -- so officials are urging fans planning to go out to watch Sunday's matchup of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles to"Drive Sober Or Game Over!"
In San Diego County, sheriff's deputies will conduct extra DUI patrols on the day of the big game beginning at 3 p.m. and continuing through 5 a.m. Monday, according to sheriff's officials. According to Auto Club research, a first-time DUI conviction in California could cost a driver $22,578 in court, arrest and DMV fines, fees and penalties, alcohol education classes, attorney's fees and additional insurance costs. Beyond the financial penalties of a DUI, there is a much greater cost, which is that of a human life.
In addition to alcohol and driving, legal recreational marijuana and driving is also a concern. Whether you smoke, vape or consume edibles, getting behind the wheel while high on marijuana poses a risk to everyone on the road as well. In fact, next to alcohol, marijuana is the drug most found in drivers who have been involved in collisions, CHP says.
