What is Drunk and Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month?
California's Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month, known as "3D Month," is an annual holiday campaign that educates the public about the dangers of impaired driving. The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), in partnership with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), oversees California's 3D Month campaign activities.

When is 3D Month?
3D Month is observed throughout the month of December.

Who is involved in 3D Month?
Each year, the OTS works closely with the CHP and various law enforcement agencies throughout the state to remind motorists that impaired driving will not be tolerated in California. Additionally, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) and the California Restaurant Association (CRA) have joined efforts with the OTS and CHP to encourage the hospitality industry to help deter impaired driving.
