Encouraging Safe Driving over the Holiday Weekend

September 4, 2010 |

We want to encourage safe driving over the Labor Day weekend.

Locally, drivers age 20-25 years old have consistently had higher rates of traffic collisions than other age groups.

We have seen an increase in injury accidents involving the following factors:

• Speeding
• Alcohol
• Following too closely

There will be increased law enforcement presence and additional emphasis on promoting traffic safety over the holiday weekend commencing September 3rd-6th, 2010.
