Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
The Arkansas State Police are gearing up for summer’s final holiday. Labor day. As you look forward to plans of a final summer getaway, law enforcement officers are preparing to saturate the highways with additional patrols during the Labor Day holiday. The mission is to keep streets and highways safe by identifying and arresting drunk drivers.
The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over impaired driving awareness campaign begins Friday August 20th, and will remain active through September 6th. Arkansas State Troopers, sheriff’s deputies, and city police officers will be unified during the operation designed to arrest drunk drivers who threaten the safety of others traveling on Arkansas roads. The Arkansas Highway Safety Office would like to offer everyone the following tips:
- If you plan on drinking, plan not to drive
- Have a plan to get home before going out.
- Designate a sober driver or use public transportation
- If you see a drunk driver on the road, call 9-1-1
- If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take their keys, and help them make other arrangements.
- Buckle up, always. Your seat belt is your best defense against a drunk driver.
