Ignition Interlock Devices and the Thanksgiving Day Feast

For most, Thanksgiving is a day best spent with family. Thanksgiving is meant to give thanks for all the positive things going on in each of our lives. Many will spend their Thanksgiving with an Ignition Interlock Device in their vehicle and will be thankful to spend the holiday with their family versus in jail for their DUI sentence. While Ignition Interlock Devices save lives, they also bring the convicted, a new start to getting their lives back in order, to keep employment, and to strengthen families rather than split a family apart.

Smart Start Inc. wants to wish all a wonderful Holiday season this Thanksgiving! We want you to keep in mind the importance of spending this time with your family and loved ones. A seemingly small action can cause major consequences. Drinking and Driving can lead to death and injury, vehicular accidents, hefty fines, and jail time. Keep in mind this Thanksgiving that after all the merriment; make sure you are not driving after consuming alcoholic beverages. Your poor choice can ruin the lives and Thanksgiving celebrations of others including yourself.

At Smart Start, we recommend:

• Take a cab to/from your next celebration
• Always go with a Designated Driver if you plan to or think may you will consume alcohol
• Call a friend or loved one to pick you up if you find yourself in the need to leave after consuming alcohol
• Stay the night where you consumed alcohol if the host allows
• Avoid the consumption of alcohol until you arrive home or until you are at a place you do not plan to leave after consuming alcohol
