How to help prevent drunk driving on game day
Officials urge sober rides, safe-ride programs and stronger enforcement as alcohol-impaired driving remains a leading cause of roadway deaths, law enforcement said.

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows impaired driving caused 30% of traffic deaths annually, with alcohol remaining in the body until the liver metabolizes it.
Safety experts recommend arranging sober drivers or rideshare services before consumption begins; SoFi Stadium attendees can access LA Metro transit routes for dedicated transportation.
Large events frequently create complex traffic scenarios for thousands of attendees, making proactive planning essential to prevent impulsive decisions while impaired.
By establishing ride arrangements before reaching the venue, fans can enjoy games safely, as avoiding alcohol entirely remains the most effective measure for responsible drivers.
