Seward County Sheriff’s office
Drivers are advised during the period of Aug. 17 through Labor Day, Sept. 2, the Seward County Sheriff’s office will join other law enforcement agencies across Kansas in a crackdown aimed at removing impaired drivers from the roadways during “You Drink. You Drive. You Lose.”
Alcohol is the main impairing substance people think of while driving, but illegal recreational drugs, such as marijuana, are just as dangerous. Driving high and/or drunk can still lead to a DUI or worse.
Those convicted of impaired driving will face stiff penalties, hefty financial consequences and time in jail. Take charge, and do not allow this to happen – designate a sober driver, use a rideshare service , take public transportation or stay home.
According to Sheriff Gene Ward, the “You Drink. You Drive. You Lose” enforcement campaign is intended to remind drivers to take a moment to consider how it would be to begin every day with the memory of a decision if it resulted in injury or death. Make the right choice.
