NYS Police: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over To Run Thru September 7th

Labor Day is 2 1/2 weeks away, but New York State Police and other agencies will take part in their Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. The campaign from Which starts today through the holiday on September 7. Last year, nearly 5,000 tickets were issued for impaired driving, and more than 170,000 more for other violations. Between 2010 and 2019, fatal crashes stemming from impaired driving have reportedly dropped nearly 20%. The state has developed the “Have a Plan” app to help citizens avoid drunk driving.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said “There’s no excuse for driving impaired. It’s reckless and puts not only yourself but everyone else on the road in danger. We have zero tolerance for this irresponsible behavior and we’re stepping up patrols to send a clear message: If you drink and drive, you will be caught and you will be held accountable.”
