Important information from LPPD for Labor Day weekend. No Regrets. đź‘®
The Drive Sober. No Regrets. The statewide impaired driving campaign is an effort by TxDOT to raise awareness about the dangers of driving while intoxicated, particularly around the Labor Day holiday weekend when many people are celebrating the end of summer.
The campaign aims to challenge any notion that people can avoid the consequences of drinking and driving and reminds drivers and motorcyclists to avoid drinking and driving or risk injuring someone, killing someone, or facing severe costs that include fines and fees, loss of their driver’s license, probation and even jail time.
The Drive Sober. No Regrets. The campaign asks that all Texans do one simple thing: Don’t get behind the wheel after you’ve been drinking any amount of alcohol. If your Labor Day plans involve alcohol, always find a sober ride home.
To learn more about the real costs of driving impaired and to find tips for a sober ride, visit SoberRides.org. Follow the hashtag #DriveSoberNoRegrets to keep up with the campaign on social media.
Harris County is consistently among the top counties in Texas when it comes to alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes. In an effort to protect all motorists extra staffing will be added to the patrol division over the Labor Day Holiday to actively seek out and arrest intoxicated drivers. The increased safety efforts for the Labor Day Holidays are possible through a partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) grant. The targeted enforcement dates are August 19th through September 5th.
The La Porte Police Department asks for the entire community’s help in making sure everyone can safely celebrate the Labor Day Weekend.
When attending celebrations with alcohol, please select a designated driver.
