‘Drive Sober of Get Pulled Over’ traffic enforcement campaign now active

Law enforcement is stepping up efforts to keep impaired drivers off the road. The annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign runs now through September 7th, with State Patrol and local agencies increasing enforcement statewide. Officials say nearly 7,000 crashes involving alcohol or drugs have been reported in Wisconsin this year, accounting for about one-third of all traffic deaths. Drivers are urged to plan ahead with a designated driver or rideshare. Authorities also remind the public to call 911 if they spot a suspected impaired driver.
