Impaired Driving Enforcement Crackdown to be
Conducted Locally as Part of National Campaign

(KEYPORT) – Police agencies from around New Jersey are gearing up for our largest annual drunk driving crackdown. The 2019 “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” Statewide Labor Day Crackdown begins August 16 and concludes on September 2. During the campaign, Law Enforcement Officers will conduct sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols targeting motorists who may be driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs.

“Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” is a national campaign designed to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through high-visibility enforcement, backed up by educational activities including radio and television ads, posters, banners, and mobile video display signs. The campaign looks to curtail impaired driving during the busy summer travel season, including around Labor Day.

During the past five years, New Jersey’s roadways experienced 36,778 crashes and 679 fatalities involving impaired drivers. During last year’s crackdown, participating agencies made 1,196 DWI arrests.

The Bayshore Chiefs offer the following advice:

• If you plan to drink, designate a driver, someone who will not drink alcohol, before going out.
• Take public transit, a taxi, or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
• Spend the night where the activity is held.
• Always buckle up, on every ride, regardless of your seating position in the vehicle. It’s your best defense against an impaired driver.
• If you’re intoxicated and traveling on foot, the safest way to get home is to take a cab or have a sober friend or family member drive you to your doorstep.
