Hinsdale police have joined forces with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High, Get a DUI” enforcement campaign to ensure that festive gatherings don’t end in tragedy. Through Jan. 2, law enforcement agencies across Illinois are adopting a zero-tolerance policy for impaired driving.
Police urge everyone to take the following simple steps:
• Plan ahead: Designate a sober driver, use public transportation or arrange for a ride-sharing service.
• Report dangers: If you spot an impaired driver, pull over safely and call 911.
• Be a hero: Stop a friend from driving impaired by taking their keys and helping them get home safely.
• Buckle up: It’s your best defense against impaired drivers.
The campaign is made possible through federal highway safety funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administered by IDOT.
