Every year, lives are needlessly lost on our roadways because of alcohol, drugs and distracted-impaired driving.
These are avoidable tragedies that leave scars on our families, schools, and communities. During Students Against Impaired Driving Day we ask that you make known your commitment to preventing impaired driving.
We remember the victims and honour their memory by making the responsible decision to not be impaired while driving and ensuring that others do the same.

What is Impaired Driving?
Alcohol, drugs, distraction and excessive speed will
impair your ability to drive.
What is the message you want to send ?
PROCLAIM:
Impaired driving is the leading criminal cause of death and injury in Canada.
PROMOTE:
If you help to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving on SAID Day you will be helping to reduce the death and injury rate of youth.
PARTICIPATE:
By not driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, by not driving at excessive speeds, and by not being distracted by a phone while driving, the death and injury rates of teens resulting from impaired driving can be drastically reduced.
PLAN:
Always plan ahead. Designate a driver who is not impaired and arrange for an alternate way home just in case.
SPEAK:
Talk to your friends and loved ones and remind them how important it is to you that they never drive impaired.
OPTIONS:
If you are the one hosting the party, always offer non-alcoholic drink options for your guests so they can still have a good time eating and drinking with everyone else.
REPORT:
If you see and suspect an impaired driver on the road, notify law enforcement immediately. Call 911
INTERVENE:
If you know someone who is impaired and is about to drive, ask them politely not to drive, and suggest some alternatives.
