Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced
that the New York State Police and local law enforcement will conduct
special enforcement efforts designed to deter drinking and driving
during St. Patrick's Day weekend. The traffic enforcement detail, which
is funded through the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee, begins today
and runs through Sunday, March 18, 2018. Drivers can expect a number of
sobriety checkpoints, additional DWI patrols, and stings targeting
underage drinking and illegal sales of alcohol to minors during the
campaign. State Police will also be ticketing distracted drivers who use
handheld electronic devices.
"If
your St. Patrick's Day weekend will involve drinking alcohol, please
make the responsible decision and have a designated driver to ensure a
safe trip home," Governor Cuomo said. "A day of
celebrating can quickly turn into devastation because of
bad decisions, and state and local law enforcement will be out in full
force to keep our roadways safe."
