HURON – A partnership between the Huron Police Department and the Department of Transportation is designed to get drunk drivers off the road and help save lives from now through the Labor Day weekend.
There are many resources available to get them home safely when they’ve been drinking, said Capt. Dan Kight.
“Drunk driving is not acceptable behavior,” he said. “It is essential to plan a sober ride home before you ever leave for the party.”
He said police officers will make no exceptions for drunk driving during the Labor Day holiday. “There are just no excuses,” Kight said.
While the end-of-summer holiday is a time when families and friends gather to celebrate with pool parties, backyard barbecues and other occasions, it has also become one of the deadliest, with drunk drivers endangering themselves and others on their way home.
