• Seward County Sheriff’s office
Continuing through Jan. 2, the Seward County Sheriff’s office will join many other law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, in the New Year’s Taking Down DUI traffic enforcement campaign.
The New Year’s holiday period outranks most of the other holidays in number of crashes in which at least one of the drivers is impaired.
So, plan ahead.
Leave the car at home and ride with a designated driver or take other transportation services. If hosting a party, make sure everyone has a sober ride home. See what appears to be an impaired driver? Calling 911 might just save a life.
“Keep in mind that if you are going to be using any impairing substance – don’t even consider driving,” Sgt. Bo Jacobs said. “Line up a ride with a sober acquaintance or other safe transportation before you go out. Make the right choice, the sober choice, do it now.”
