“Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” Campaign in Progress

A number of municipal, county, and state law enforcement agencies throughout New England are participating in the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign. This enforcement campaign is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation’ National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and it is supported by a nationwide, multi-year advertising campaign focused on getting drunk drivers off the road. (Each year nearly 11,000 people die on the road due to accidents related to drunk driving.)
