Remember Safety This 4th Of July With Buzzed.Busted.Broke Facebook Game

With July 4th approaching, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Ad Council have released a new Facebook game, called “Buzzed. Busted. Broke.” that reminds people of the cost of buzzed driving over the holiday.

Here’s the link to play: https://www.facebook.com/NHTSA/app_267590070045718.

According to NHTSA, July 4^th is one of the deadliest times on the roads. From 2007 to 2011, 40 percent of all fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes around the July 4^th holiday involved a drunk driver.  “Buzzed” drivers who have “only a few” drinks often do not consider themselves a hazard on the roads. But they can rack up $10,000 in fines, legal fees and increased insurance rates if they get pulled over. Or, worse, they can produce tragic consequences.

This new game provides a new twist on the familiar photo match game — except in this game,, all the images are related to buzzed driving. NHTSA collaborated with Play API to create a platform that would be engaging but still deliver our public safety message.

Please support NHTSA efforts by sharing “Buzzed. Busted. Broke with your friends and family.”  This July 4^th holiday we want to help everyone remember that “Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.”
