Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign is important during holidays
SUMMARY: As the holidays approach, local law enforcement agencies are reminding everyone to drive sober or get pulled over. They are working to ensure that all officers are on the same page about the upcoming Christmas and New Year season, particularly with regards to the dangers of drinking and driving. Statistics show that a large percentage of road fatalities during this time involve drunk drivers, and many people do not arrange for a designated driver before drinking. One person shared a personal story about the impact of drunk driving. The message is clear: if you're going to drink, have a designated driver. Remember to download ride sharing apps like Uber and Lyft before your holiday celebrations.
WTVA reporter Jake White speaks with Police Chief Joel Spellins about staying sober while driving this upcoming holiday season.
