Vermont Authorities Use Star Wars to Combat Drunk Driving

"Drink and drive? Path to dark side, it is."

17 Comments

The Vermont Transportation Department is taking a new approach to fighting drunk diving in the Green Mountain State. Signs featured alongside highways in Vermont, including the major I-91 interstate, carry a public service announcement from the wise Jedi Yoda about the dangers of drunk diving.

Check it out below (via Vermont State Police).

The new signs were put up just in time for Star Wars: The Force Awakens' release in theaters on Friday, December 18. The movie has gone on to break all kinds of records.

Here's to hoping these Star Wars-inspired signs can help reduce the number of drunk diving incidents in Vermont--and across the country.

For more on The Force Awakens, you can read GameSpot's spoiler-free review. If you've seen the movie, we also have a spoiler-filled video that discusses some big questions we have about the plot.
