Law enforcement officers looking for impaired drivers this Labor Day weekend

BOISE – The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reminds motorists to make the right choice and not drive impaired this Labor Day weekend.

Law enforcement officers throughout Idaho are on the lookout for impaired drivers as part of a nationwide Labor Day mobilization targeting drunk driving Aug. 24 through Sept. 7.

By increasing patrols, officers expect to arrest more drunk drivers and make the holiday weekend safer for motorists. Overtime costs for the additional enforcement patrols are covered by a federal grant administered by ITD.

Last year, more than 41 percent of all Idaho highway fatalities were the result of an impaired driving crash. The state’s law enforcement agencies made more than 12,000 DUI arrests in 2008.
