The BAT Mobile will be in Warwick tonight to help officers test and process suspected impaired drivers. Enjoy Halloween responsibly. If your plans include alcohol or cannabis, make sure they also include a safe and sober ride home. #LeadersInSafety cc: @NHTSAgov @RIDOTNews

#CountdowntoASafe2024: Driving under the influence, regardless of the substance that has been ingested, is against the law. Mixing alcohol with other substances can compromise the skills required for safe vehicle operation. It all adds up to impairment. cc: @RIDOTNews @NHTSAgov

As you make a plan to get home safely, consider calling a sober friend or using a rideshare service such as Uber or Lyft. Always ensure that the details of the car picking you up match those shown on the app before getting in. #CountdownToASafe2024 cc: @RIDOTNews @NHTSAgov
