“Tragedies on our public roads could have been prevented if people obeyed the rules of the road,” read a state police news release. “Driving is a shared responsibility, don’t make a bad decision that could cost someone their life. Slow down, put your phone down, wear your seat belt, and drive sober. If you’re drinking too much, find someone sober to drive you You go home, whether it’s family, friends, taxis or ride-sharing services, there’s no excuse.”
