This is a sobering statistic. Independence Day is about celebrating Freedom. Unfortunately, if you drive drunk, you could end up with the ultimate freedom and we don't think that was the kind you wanted to celebrate.

Let's keep July 4th about freedom, family, and fireworks — not a preventable tragedy. If you're celebrating with alcohol this weekend, make your plan now: ✅ Designate a sober driver. 📱 Call a taxi or schedule a rideshare. 🚍 Use public transportation.

In today’s ABCs of ABC, we cover fake IDs—something ABC encounters regularly.

This is your friendly notification that beginning tonight, we will have Firework Suppression Units proactively patrolling the city looking for fireworks violations. These units will work nightly between now and the Fourth of July confiscating and citing when necessary.

If your World Cup viewing plans include alcohol, plan for a sober ride home. If you’re an ABC licensee, be sure to carefully check IDs and to not serve obviously intoxicated patrons.

Think of this dashboard light as your car asking a simple question: "Are you ready for the unexpected?" Buckle up. Every Trip. Every Time.

Walking or riding this summer? 🚶‍♂️🚲 There is a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to share the road — and knowing which direction to face can save your life.
