Local Law Enforcement and the Florida Highway Patrol remind you that as holiday celebrations continue, the #DriveSoberOrGetPulledOver campaign is still in full effect. Please have fun and enjoy #NewYears, but remember to stay safe and NEVER drive impaired! ????????????
Preliminary FLHSMV data shows that last December, 81 people lost their lives in a crash involving alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both on Florida roads. The issue isn’t just in Florida, though.
