The annual drunk driving campaign is taking place throughout the Labor Day weekend in an effort to eliminate drunk driving leading to accidents and fatalities.
The 2011 crackdown is supported by $14 million in paid advertising nationally to put motorists on notice if they are pulled over while driving impaired. The advertisements are targeted at young male drivers and motorcycle riders, as they are the most common perpetrators of drunk driving.
While
drunk driving has decreased, it is still a major problem in our country. Drunk driving is most commonly associated with young males 21 to 34 years old.
August is the deadliest month of drunk driving for young drivers in the United States.
Therefore, police in every state and most towns throughout the national will be out looking for those committing this crime in order to prevent fatal accidents.
The campaign has been taking place since August 19 and will run through September 5. Each year, this campaign is greatly successful. Yet, there are still drunk drivers out there.
Davis Law Group asks you to be responsible on the roadways throughout Labor Day weekend. While you may be sober, those around you may not be. When you arrive at your destination have a plan for how you are getting home before you start drinking. Even better – stay where you are.
Be a part of the fight against drunk driving. Participate in “Walk Like MADD” on October 29 at Greenlake Park by raising money for drunk driving awareness and education.
