State Police Cracking Down on Impaired Drivers

The New York State Police will be participating in a national crackdown on impaired driving. The ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ program is intended to maximize DWI enforcement efforts to ensure motorists are not needlessly injured or killed by an intoxicated or drug impaired driver during this time. Troopers will have extra patrols on the roads monitoring traffic and will be conducting DWI sobriety checkpoints. In addition to the DWI checkpoints and patrols, Troopers will also be watching for distracted or impaired drivers, vehicle occupants who are not properly buckled up, and drivers that are violating the Move Over Law. During the campaign, Troopers will be using both marked State Police vehicles and unmarked vehicles as part of the operation.
