Daily Record Staff//December 15, 2014//
Listen to this articleNew York State Police will have additional troopers on the roads this holiday season in an effort to crackdown on drunken driving.
Troopers will again participate in the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign, which began Friday and runs through Jan. 1. Drivers can expect to see sobriety checkpoints along with more troopers on major highways during the campaign. Unmarked state police patrol vehicles will also be on the roads.
Troopers will also be watching for distracted or impaired drivers, vehicle occupants who are not properly buckled up and drivers violating the “Move Over Law,” which requires drivers to exercise extreme caution when passing emergency vehicles that are stopped in or on the side of the road.
According to a release, 1,698 people nationwide were killed on the road during the 2012 holiday season, with almost a third of the fatalities related to drunk-driving. On Christmas Day that year, 26 people were killed by drunk drivers.
