TxDOT
is reminding Texans: if you drink and drive during the upcoming
Labor Day holiday, you're going to jail. Between August 21 and
September 7, thousands of law enforcement officers will be
making an extra effort to spot - and stop - drunk drivers.
As Texans get ready to enjoy the last holiday of the summer season, TxDOT expects a significant spike in the number of motorists on Texas roads and highways during the upcoming Labor Day weekend. With an increase in overall traffic comes an increase in alcohol-related crashes, injuries and fatalities.
TxDOT is joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and local law enforcement organizations statewide to get drunk drivers off the road.
