The Atlanta Police Department said it will partner with the
Governors Office of Highway Safety in an effort to decrease and
deter the number of preventable accidents and fatalities over the
holiday weekend.
The Department will be enforcing a Zero Tolerance for drivers
operating vehicles under the influence.
The Governors Office of Highway Safety had life-saving advice
for motorists with travel plans for the Labor Day holiday driving
period. “Buckle-up, Slow Down and Drive Sober,” says GOHS Director
Bob Dallas.
The DUI crackdown starts Friday.
Georgia’s Highway Safety Office delivered a sobering statewide
warning that the Georgia State Patrol, local police and sheriffs
deputies are ready to repeat at Operation Zero Tolerance sobriety
checkpoints across the state as the official holiday travel period
begins at 6pm this Friday, September 4th and runs through midnight
Labor Day, September 7th, 2009.
