The Winnebago County Sheriff's Office in Illinois is providing a "Safe Ride Home" program on Thanksgiving Eve from 10 PM to 3 AM to prevent impaired driving. Funded by local businesses, the service lets revelers call for a safe ride home, advised especially on "Blackout Wednesday," known for high rates of drinking and driving. Authorities remind people to avoid driving impaired and to use seat belts.
