Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. As part of the
national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
campaign that runs through New Year s
Day, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP)
will concentrate its enforcement efforts
on impaired driving throughout Florida.
FHP joins law enforcement and highway
safety agencies across the nation to re-
move impaired drivers from roadways in
an effort to save lives.
"Impaired driving puts drivers,
passengers and pedestrians at risk, and
each year it claims the lives of too many
people," said FHP Director, Colonel Gene
S. Spaulding. "Be sure to make the right
choice this holiday season and drive so-
ber. There is never an excuse for impaired
driving."
Tips to help ensure motorists Ar-
