Kentucky State Police Post 3 to Tackle Operation C.A.R.E. on Super Bowl Sunday
Crash Awareness and Reduction Effort aims to prevent impaired driving
BOWLING GREEN, KY. (February 3, 2025) – This Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 9, Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 3 is suiting up for Operation C.A.R.E. (Crash Awareness Reduction Effort). As fans gear up for the big game, KSP troopers are hitting the road to ensure everyone gets to and from their game-day celebrations safely. This national initiative focuses on reducing traffic crashes and preventing impaired driving, making the roads safer for everyone.
“We want to ensure that everyone gets to enjoy the Superbowl and the commercials that come with it.” said KSP Post 3 Captain Timothy Adams. “But most of all, the real goal is for everyone to make it home safely. Be punctual, drive responsibly and clear the roadways of any negativity.”
KSP’s Operation C.A.R.E. blitz aims to intercept potential traffic violations such as speeding, impaired or distracted driving and failure to wear seatbelts before they turn into dangerous situations. Just like a good defensive line, KSP troopers will be on the lookout to block any unsafe driving behavior from making it into the end zone.
To help drivers score a win for safety, KSP offers the following tips:
- Have a Game Plan – If you plan to drink during your Super Bowl festivities, arrange a designated driver, call a ride-share service or stay overnight at your host’s house.
- Wear Your Safety Gear – Buckling up is your best defense against impaired or distracted drivers. Remember, seatbelts save lives.
- Give the Playmakers Room – Move over for first responders and emergency vehicles. Kentucky law requires motorists to switch lanes or slow down to ensure safety.
- Stay Focused – Keep distractions like your phone on the sidelines while driving. Stay alert and keep your eyes on the road.
If you spot a driver who appears impaired or is engaging in dangerous behavior, report it to your nearest KSP Post or local law enforcement agency. You can find your nearest KSP post by viewing the Post Map on KSP’s website.
KSP asks citizens to join the team to ensure everyone’s Super Bowl celebration ends with cheers, not tears. We can all enjoy the big game safely by following these tips and staying vigilant.
