Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over begins March 1
For Immediate Release: Feb 25 2021
Statewide, ND- Alcohol and drug-related motor vehicle crashes, fatalities and arrests for driving under the influence are 100% preventable, yet 42% of motor vehicle fatalities in 2019 were alcohol-involved.
To save lives and remove impaired drivers from the road, law enforcement across the state will have extra patrols for Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, from March 1 through March 31.
Many lives would be saved in North Dakota each year if every driver consistently makes the choice to drive sober or designate a sober driver.
This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
Visit the North Dakota Crash Memorial Wall to view memorials built on the hope of preventing another death on North Dakota roads.
