This is a story of a bear that makes a not good decision, and ends up having a very not good night. This August, Washington law enforcement officers will join the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign aimed at encouraging everyone to get a safe ride, especially if alcohol, prescription or over-the-counter medicine, or other drug use might be causing any impairment.
We’ve teamed up with Uber to promote safe rides; if you have a night out that may result in impairment, use the Uber first time user code HOMESAFE2016 for a free ride, up to $20.
Along with the extra patrols, we have a slideshow of what can happen when a bear drinks, smokes a joint, and then drives. Take a look and see how things worked out for Bear:
Your story doesn’t have to end like Bear’s story.
You can visit Bear in Jail! He’ll be at the Skagit County Fair for Safety Day on August 10th, and at the Northwest Washington Fair all week at the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office booth. Uber will be visiting Bear and handing out promo codes for free Uber rides. Come visit Bear.
