You Drink & Drive. You Lose.
The Hollister Police Department recently focused extra enforcement efforts on impaired driving laws July 3-5.
During the effort, law enforcement officers issued a total of 21 citations that includes 3 speeding tickets, 1 driving while intoxicated, 5 safety belt and 1 child restraint violation.
“Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is never worth the risk of a tragedy. “We’re working to keep our roads safer” said Chief Preston Schmidt. Driving while intoxicated remains one of the top causes of fatal motor vehicle crashes in Missouri. In 2007, 243 people in Missouri were killed in more than 7,780 alcohol-related crashes. Enforcement efforts like this one help to take impaired drivers off the road and make travel in Missouri safer.
