Make Sure No Hearts Are Broken This Valentine’s Day – Plan Ahead For A Sober Ride Home


OAKVILLE, Ontario, Feb. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- If you are headed out for a night on the town with your special someone to celebrate Valentine’s Day, MADD Canada and Allstate Insurance Company of Canada are asking you to make a sober ride part of the plan.

“We hope everyone has a very special Valentine’s Day,” said MADD Canada National President Jaymie-Lyne Hancock. “If your evening includes alcohol, cannabis or any other drug that can impair your driving, make sure to book a sober ride. We don’t want anyone to experience the devastating heartbreak of an impaired driving crash.”

Crashes involving alcohol, cannabis and/or other drugs claim hundreds of lives and cause tens of thousands of injuries every year. These tragic deaths and injuries are 100% preventable.

  • Never drive impaired. Plan ahead for a sober ride home – book an Uber, call a cab, take public transit or arrange a designated driver.
  • Never accept a ride from a driver who may be impaired.
  • Call 911 if you see a driver you suspect is impaired.

“As we celebrate all our loved ones, let’s also do everything we can to keep them safe on the roads. Drive sober or arrange a sober ride,” said Ryan Michel, President and CEO of Allstate Canada.
