94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign in effect now through Labor Day
As the Labor Day holiday approaches, state officials and law enforcement agencies are reminding drivers to “drive sober or get pulled over.”
Now through September 1, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety is joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and area law enforcement agencies for the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign.
According to the KOHS, there were more than 4,000 crashes across Kentucky in 2024 that involved an impaired driver. Those crashes resulted in 2,062 injuries and 185 deaths. 45 alcohol-related crashes involving motorcycles occurred in 2024, resulting in 41 injuries and 6 deaths.
The KOHS says if your Labor Day weekend plans will include alcohol, take steps to ensure a safe weekend. Plan a way to get home safely at the end of the night. If you are impaired, use a ride-booking company or taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation. If you see people who are about to drive impaired, take away their keys and help them make plans to get home safely. Finally, always wear a seatbelt.
If you see an impaired driver, safely pull over and contact area law enforcement or the Kentucky State Police. Visit www.kydrivesober.com for more information.
