We all love to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, food and fireworks. But all too often the festivities turn tragic on the nation’s roads. The fact is the July 4th holiday is also one of the deadliest of the year due to drunk-driving crashes.
This year’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” high-visibility crackdown will run throughout the July 4th weekend. Law enforcement agencies throughout Virginia and the region, are targeting this time period because holiday weekends bring a surge in drunk-driving.
We want drivers to know that we don’t tolerate drunk driving. No excuses, no warnings. If drivers are caught driving impaired, they will be arrested.
Enjoy your 4th of July and don’t lose your “independence” this weekend due to impaired driving. Remember to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
