The Connecticut State Police will increase motor vehicle enforcement efforts over the July 4th hoilday weekend in an effort to provide maximum coverage of all roads and highways.
As part of the C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) the Connecticut State Police will be strategically positioning additional State Troopers and equipment throughout the entire state to provide enhance safety on all of the highways and roads in Connecticut.
During this July 4th enforcement operation State Troopers will utilize our aircraft, non-traditional patrol cars, marked patrol cars and unmarked patrol cars.
The focus of this enforcement is to increase the safe operation of all motorists on the roads. Troopers will focus enforcement on the aggressive drivers, excessive speed, following too close, unsafe lane changing, use of non hands free cell phones while driving and failure to wear seatbelts.
Traditionally Drunk driving arrests are a large part of this operation. In 2008 Connecticut State Troopers arrested 65 people for DUI. These Drunk drivers are endangering all motorists on our roads.
State Police will conduct several sobriety checkpoints and target specific patrols in areas where Troopers traditionally see drunk driving accidents and in areas where Troopers locate and arrest DUI violators.
Connecticut State Troopers are reminding all motorists to designate a non-drinking driver to provide safe transportation from holiday parties and celebrations. Remember a drunk driving arrest means a custody arrest, a jail cell, court appearances, and insurance issues to name just a few.
Motorist are reminded that the use hands free cell phone devices is the only legal way to talk on cell phones while driving on Connecticut.
If you see a suspected drunk or aggressive driver report it immediate that is a true emergency.
