U.S. Virgin Islands –The VI Police Department/Office of Highway Safety (VIPD/OHS) encourages residents and visitors to celebrate safely during the St. John Celebration festivities.
As you enjoy the parades, village events, concerts, and cultural activities that make this celebration special, remember that impaired driving is never worth the risk. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs endangers not only the driver but also passengers, pedestrians, and everyone sharing our roadways.
VIPD/OHS urges all celebration-goers to plan ahead by designating a sober driver, arranging alternative transportation, or utilizing a taxi before attending events.
This St. John Celebration season, make safety part of the tradition. Look out for one another and help keep our roads safe for everyone.
Every safe decision helps protect our families, friends, and community.
If You Feel Different, You Drive Different.
Drive Sober. Arrive Alive.
