Sober Ride service offers $15 Lyft rides on Super Bowl night in Hampton Roads

9 February 2025 at 22:41

HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) - Drive Safe Hampton Roads and the Virginia DMV is teaming up to offer 757 Sober Ride for Super Bowl night.

757 Sober Ride operates several times throughout the year, on nights that people typically have a little extra to drink. This program operates in all cities on the Southside and Peninsula Hampton Roads area.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2021, one person was killed every 39 minutes in a drunk-driving crash and there were 13,384 alcohol-impaired fatalities.

757 Sober Ride aims to prevent that by offering up to $15 for one Lyft ride home.

Users can access the code for this discount between 8 p.m. Sunday and 3 a.m. Monday here.

The ride must originate or end on the Southside or Peninsula Lyft coverage area during the time the discount is offered. Users must be 21 or older to use the service, and users are also responsible for any charge over $15.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) -- Lux the Skunk predicted an early spring during the "Not So" Groundhog Day celebration at the Virginia Living Museum Sunday.

The museum's ambassador striped skunk thrilled the audience alongside WAVY-TV 10's Meteorologist Jeremy Wheeler reprising his role as master of ceremonies.

Lux made his debut prediction since the traditional forecaster, Chesapeake Chuck, remained in hibernation.

"Our native wildlife never ceases to amaze us with their remarkable adaptations. While Chesapeake Chuck follows his natural instinct to hibernate, Lux demonstrates the incredible diversity of winter survival strategies," said Deanna Orr, Ambassador Animal Manager. "By honoring these natural behaviors, we're not just celebrating our animals โ€“ we're showcasing the fascinating ways Virginia's wildlife adapts and thrives throughout the seasons."

Other animal predictions on upcoming current events also took place. The museum's white tail deer duo predicted the Philadelphia Eagles will win the Super Bowl, the turtles in Piedmont & Mountains Gallery predicted Sabrina Carpenter's "Short N' Sweet" will win the Grammy's Record of the Year and Danni the porcupine predicted that the Oscar's Best Picture will be awarded to "I'm Still Here".
