The New Year’s holiday is nearly here and this week’s Give’m Health message is encouraging all to celebrate and travel safely. Vernal PD Officer Shaun Smith visited the Eagle Country KLCY studio with advice for a safe holiday. First, winter weather has arrived so always give yourself extra time to get to your destination. Slow down and if you’re running late, do not speed up. Just be late, shares Smith, emphasizing that it will be okay. When it comes to celebrating the New Year’s holiday, simply celebrate responsibly and be smart, says Smith. Make a plan and never drink and drive or drive distracted. Local law enforcement will have extra patrols out in an effort to keep the community safe on New Year’s Eve.
