Auto Club Media Advisory: Drunk in the Stadium Parking Lot? Not Really, but You'll Be Acting Like It!


WHO:   The Auto Club and the California Highway Patrol will be
       releasing new crash statistics and analysis showing that Fourth
       of July is one of the most dangerous holidays for drinking and
       driving.

WHAT:  In addition to statistics on alcohol-related crashes, reporters
       will get the chance to immediately experience the dangers of
       drunk driving with the assistance of the Auto Club Driving
       School and "fatal vision" goggles from the CHP.

       Fatal vision goggles simulate the visual effects of
       drunkenness, and reporters will be able to take a field
       sobriety test, play a timed coordination game, and drive a
       simple road course both with and without the goggles to
       demonstrate alcohol's effect on driving.

WHEN:  Thursday, June 30, at 10:30 a.m.

WHERE: Dodger Stadium Parking Lots 27 and 29 (enter at Elysian Park
       Avenue)

WHY:   The Auto Club and CHP hope to reduce the number of deaths and
       injuries from drunk-driving crashes this year by educating the
       public about the dangers of this holiday. Because July 4th
       falls on a Monday this year, the Auto Club will be offering its
       "Tipsy Tow" service free to all Southern California drivers
       throughout this upcoming holiday weekend.
