The D.U.I. Task Force will be out on the roads of Blair County conducting one or more events this week. They say all SOBRIETY CHECKPOINTS will be well lit and manned by uniformed officers. ROVING PATROLS will also be out there, and they will utilize uniformed officers in marked police vehicles. Motorists are reminded to always be alert while in the vicinity of emergency personnel and vehicles. Remember Pennsylvania’s “Move Over Law”. COPS IN SHOPS is another arm of enforcement. It utilizes police officers, either in uniform or wearing civilian attire who may pose as employees or customers of six pack stores and distributors in an attempt to deter liquor law violations. Remember.. the safest way to stay out of trouble and to stay safe is to simply do not drink and drive. Also, remember to know if your prescription medication affects your driving ability. Wear your seatbelt.
Allow enough driving time so that you are NOT rushed. Be a defensive driver; be alert to all traffic, pedestrians, and actual or potential hazards. REMEMBER…. Impaired driving is 100% PREVENTABLE!!
