On the Road, On the Water, Don’t Drink and Drive Campaign Resumes

A multi-agency safety initiative aimed at summer holiday travel will resume throughout NorthCarolina, beginning this Memorial Day weekend, May 24-27. The “On the Road, On theWater, Don’t Drink and Drive” campaign will work to reduce accidents on the state’s roadwaysand waterways, which see increased traffic this time of year. Unfortunately, too manyaccidents are alcohol-related. In North Carolina, a driver or vessel operator with a blood-alcohol concentration that meets or exceeds .08 or is appreciably impaired by alcohol and/ordrugs is subject to arrest.

The campaign is made up of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program, Wildlife ResourcesCommission, State Highway Patrol, Alcohol Law Enforcement, Forensic Tests for Alcohol,U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard and local police and sheriff’s offices, alongwith participating organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who work for publicsafety in their communities.

“On the Road, On the Water, Don’t Drink and Drive is more than an annual lawenforcement campaign,” said Sgt. David Jordan, a Commission wildlife officer stationed inPender County. “It’s a partnership, with the most important partner being a safe andresponsible public.”

Officers will conduct sobriety checkpoints and special increased patrols during busy holidayperiods, combined with special messaging strategies to increase awareness of the dangerousconsequences of impaired driving.
