New Year's Eve is upon us, and the State Patrol is asking drivers to help keep the roads safe.

If your holiday plans include drinking alcohol away from home, State Transportation Safety Director Major Dan Lonsdorf says you should also make sure you have a way to get back safely. Lonsdorf says you should designate a driver, take a cab, or stay the night where the party is taking place.

Lonsdorf says police across the state will be watching closely for impaired drivers. For those heading home sober, Lonsdorf asks that they be on the look-out for any possibly impaired drivers. If spotted, drivers should dial 911 and report a suspected drunk driver to police.
