Troopers helping keep holidays safe
|

In an effort to ensure people are safely enjoying the
upcoming holidays, Alaska State Troopers will join the hustle
and bustle on the highways while looking for impaired motorists.
The ramped up effort is part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled
Over” national DUI enforcement that goes until January 1. In
addition to the robust enforcement, the Department of Public
Safety launched its yearly public service announcement with a
Christmas jingle urging people to “Call a cab or call a
friend/You’ll get home safe tonight.”

Boosting public awareness regarding the dangers of impaired
driving, along with other driver behavior issues, helps decrease
the number of fatal and serious injury crashes.
Besides looking for impaired drivers, troopers will watch out
for speeding, reckless and aggressive driving, as well as driver
inattention – all factors that contribute to injury and death on
Alaska’s roads.
The public can help keep the roads safe by calling 9-1-1 to
Report Every Dangerous Driver Immediately (REDDI).
Enjoy the holidays by celebrating safely and responsibly to help
ensure this season is one of joy and happiness.
Funding for the focused enforcement was provided in part by
grant sources distributed through the Alaska Highway Safety
Office. |
