The Clermont Sun - Thursday, March 12, 2020 - Page B9
Drinking the green beer? Call a designated driver! Green beer, leprechauns, and elusive pots of gold are all hallmarks of St. Patrick’s Day, the long-awaited Irish holiday. Make sure you and your friends stay safe this St. Paddy’s Day by remembering one important piece of advice: Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving. This means that if you plan to drink any alcoholic beverage, even a watered-down green beer, it’s essential that you plan for a designated driver. In 2018 alone, 73 people were killed in drunkdriving crashes over the St. Paddy’s Day holiday period (6 p.m. March 16 to 5:59 a.m. March 18). For this reason, Clermont County Safe Communities is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to spread the message about the dangers of drunk driving. Because even one drink can be one too many. “We want our community
to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day, and we expect drivers to take responsibility for their actions,” Mike McCormick, program assistant, said. “If you’ve been drinking, make the right choice to find a sober driver to get you, and your friends, home safely. Before you put your keys in the ignition, remind yourself: Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving. If you feel a buzz, you are in no shape to drive.” According to NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 36,560 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2018, and 29% (10,511) of those fatalities occurred in crashes during which a driver had a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit of .08. In 2018 alone, 73 people (39% of all crash fatalities) were killed in drunk-driving crashes over the St. Patrick’s Day holiday period. The early hours of March 18, 2018, didn’t fare
much better. Between midnight and 5:59 a.m. over the St. Patrick’s Day holiday period in 2018, more than three out of five (62 percent) crash fatalities involved a drunk driver. In fact, from 2014 to 2018, 249 lives were lost due in drunk-driving crashes. Drivers should also keep an eye out for pedestrians who have had too much to drink. Walking while intoxicated can also be deadly, as lack of attention to their surroundings could put pedestrians at risk of getting hit by a vehicle. “Drunk drivers are often a problem on our nation’s roads, but we especially hate to see them out on holidays,” McCormick said. “People need to know that they can go out for a night of fun and return home safely. Don’t be the reason someone — including yourself — doesn’t get home. Don’t let St. Patrick’s Day become an anniversary of a
tragic night.” Drunk driving isn’t the only risk on the road: Drugimpaired driving is also an increasing problem, for men and for women alike. If drivers are impaired by any substance — alcohol or other drugs — they should not get behind the wheel of a vehicle. It is illegal in all states to drive impaired by alcohol or drugs. Remember: Driving while impaired is illegal, period. The bottom line is this: If You Feel Different, You Drive Different. It’s that simple. Drinking and driving should never be combined. It’s essential to plan a sober ride in advance if the holiday celebration will include alcohol. The alternative could change your life, not to mention the lives of your passengers, of pedestrians, or of other drivers and passengers nearby. This holiday season, Clermont County Safe Communities and NHTSA
urge drivers to designate a sober driver before heading out for the evening. If you plan on drinking, plan on not driving.
- Have a friend who is about to drink and drive? Take the keys away and make arrangements to get your friend home safely.
Party with a Plan First and foremost: Plan ahead. Be honest with yourself: You know whether you’ll be drinking. If you plan to drink, plan for a sober driver to take you home. Is it your turn to be the designated driver? Take that role seriously — your friends are relying on you. - Remember that it is never okay to drink and drive. Even if you’ve had only one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober driver or plan to use public transportation or a ride service to get home safely. - If available, use your community’s sober ride program. Dial A Ride 513732-7433. - If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact 1-800GRAB-DUI or *DUI
If you are buzzed, do not drive. Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.

Court rules in favor of local citizens and documented immigrant youth in granting equal access to driver’s licenses, Ohio IDs On Wednesday, February 26, 2020 members and supporters of the Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center gathered alongside Advocates for Basic Legal Equality to celebrate a federal district court judge’s decision to block a discriminatory policy enacted by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles that denied driver’s licenses and Ohio identification cards to 16and 17-year olds with foreign-born parents because of their parents’ immigration status. “We take for granted how much power a driver’s license grants you, to be able to move freely and go about
your life,” shared Allison Reynolds-Berry, executive director of IJPC. IJPC and six individual plaintiffs filed a class action complaint against the BMV in October of 2018 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Eastern Division. The lawsuit was brought by ABLE, a nonprofit law firm, and Porter Wright, on behalf of IJPC and the plaintiffs, after IJPC learned that members of their Youth Educating Society program were being unlawfully turned away by the BMV. It was discovered that U.S. citizens and documented immigrant youth who were

otherwise eligible for a driver's license were being denied because BMV policy stated that their undocumented parents cannot serve as cosigners on the minor’s applications because they didn’t have a U.S. issued ID. IJPC’s Youth Educating Society program empowers immigrant youth and allies through support and education to cultivate social and legislative change for a more inclusive and just society. One YES leader, Karina, boldy shared her story as one of the main plaintiffs on this case. She shared, “I called my cousin and I told him the news. The reaction on his face was priceless. It seemed as if wings had regrown on him. He’s sixteen and now he’s able to get his driver’s license and so will his siblings.” This ruling will grant an estimated 3,000+ U.S. citizen or documented non-citizen children living in Ohio the ability to drive. “Going forward the BMV will not be able to require that parents present proof of lawful presence in
order to cosign their children’s driver’s license applications,” said Emily Brown, co-counsel from ABLE. She continued, “The ability to drive...especially in a state of Ohio with limited public transportation is fundamental to accessing many human rights like working, attending school, caring for family members and obtaining medical care.” ABLE also received a ruling on a related lawsuit filed on behalf of three other plaintiffs, including Community Refugee and Immigration Services, a refugee resettlement agency in Columbus. That related ruling overturns another BMV policy, which effectively denied licenses to lawfully admitted refugees if those refugees have not adjusted their status to lawful permanent residence within two years of their arrival in the U.S. For additional informacontact Allison tion, Reynolds-Berry, allison@IJPCcincinnati.org , 513-579-8547 office 630336-0041 cell.
