The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office is participating in the last ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign for 2013. The campaign starts today and runs through Wednesday January 1, 2014. As with all the ‘Drive Sober’ campaigns, the goal is to focus on the dangers of drinking and driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which backs the campaign, says drunk driving is a killer on the roads all year round, but data shows that the tradition of celebrating the holidays with alcohol leads to an increase of traffic crashes and resulting deaths and injuries.
