Carmel, IN – Police in Carmel are reminding residents that December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, emphasizing the importance of sober driving as holiday gatherings increase across Indiana.
According to the Carmel Police Department, impaired driving is fully preventable, and one bad decision can have lifelong consequences. Officers are encouraging residents to make a plan before heading out—whether by designating a sober driver, calling a ride-share, or using public transportation.
The department also urges motorists to stay alert and avoid driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that could impair focus. “See something, say something,” the department added, encouraging community members to report suspected impaired drivers.
As holiday events ramp up through the end of the year, Carmel Police are reinforcing that safe choices behind the wheel protect everyone on the road. “Let’s all do our part to keep Carmel streets safe this holiday season,” the post concluded.
