It’s never a good idea to drink before getting behind the wheel, especially now. The Florida Highway Patrol in Charlotte and Sarasota counties and the rest of the state is taking part in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. Troopers will concentrate their enforcement efforts on saving lives by removing impaired drivers from the roadways. You’ll see an increased presence by the FHP during the holidays, not only to deter traffic violations but to enhance services to motorists who break down or otherwise need assistance while traveling. And if you see an impaired or aggressive driver, you’re encouraged to call *FHP–that’s *347.
