In 2010, 10,228 people were killed in fatal collisions involving alcohol in the United States. The fact is, more Americans die on our nation\u2019s highways than they do anywhere else, including in wars overseas, plane crashes, or other events we generally consider tragic. Impaired driving is a problem everywhere, placing you at risk every time you get behind the wheel\u2026whether you\u2019re impaired or not.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t be part of the problem<\/h2>\n<p>Arizona law defines .08 Blood Alcohol Concentration as the \u201clegal limit\u201d for alcohol impairment. However, if you are driving while impaired in any way, by any substance, even to the slightest degree, you could be arrested for DUI. If your blood alcohol concentration is under .05, the law presumes you are not impaired\u2026by alcohol. However, if the totality of circumstances shows otherwise, an arrest can still be made. In 2010, the highest percentage of impaired drivers (34%) were between 21-24 years old.<\/p>\n<h2>Be part of the solution<\/h2>\n<p>If in doubt, hand over the keys or find a ride. Here are some great ways to avoid getting behind the wheel if you are even slightly impaired:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On Thursday and Saturday nights, use the free NAU Safe Ride shuttle from campus to downtown Flagstaff. NAU ID required to ride.<\/li>\n<li>Use a cab company. Flagstaff has several such services, and there is even a business who will drive you AND your car home\u2026separately of course.<\/li>\n<li>Use a\u00a0<strong>sober<\/strong>, designated driver. Check out the SODAS program offered through Campus Health Services\u2019 Health Promotions office, which offers free soda for D.D.\u2019s at several establishments in Flagstaff.<\/li>\n<li>Have a group? Why not walk? It\u2019s free, and a great way to burn off those empty calories while staying out from behind the wheel. Remember to observe our personal safety tips, and call for an escort if you\u2019re\u00a0<strong>on campus<\/strong>\u00a0and don\u2019t feel safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>We\u2019re still out here\u2026.<\/h2>\n<p>Thinking about taking the risk anyway? Think again! NAUPD, the Flagstaff Police Department, Coconino County Sheriff\u2019s Office, and Arizona Department of Public Safety are all heavily involved in DUI enforcement in the Flagstaff Area. Officers are trained to administer Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, have training in Advanced Roadside Impairment Detection and Enforcement, and have Drug Recognition Experts and Law Enforcement Phlebotomy available to further support DUI investigations.<\/p>\n<!-- shortcode-right-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-right-column\" >\n    <div class=\"shortcode-right-column__container\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8426 size-short-banner-image-xl\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/141\/2023\/09\/3FA95291-C6C2-4CD2-8A34-C5502C6D7A17-640x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAUPD Drive sober, or get pulled over Across the nation, officers are cracking down on impaired driving.
