Idaho Transportation Department reminds people to have a plan for a sober ride home for New Years.
Law enforcement officers from more than 50 agencies will dedicate patrols to getting impaired drivers off the roads, this weekend.
In 2021, 108 people were killed in crashes that involved an impaired driver in Idaho. This represents 40 percent of all traffic fatalities that year.
While law enforcement will be on heightened watch for drivers under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, preventing crashes is a shared responsibility in our community.
Designate a sober driver or plan to use a ride service to get home safely. If someone you know is about to drink and drive, take the keys away and help arrange a safe ride.
