Latest Michigan Drunk Driving Enforcement Program is Underway

The Michigan State Police along with local police and sheriff's departments are on the watch for those D.U.I.. This most recent effort covers a period when many over do it: spring break, a time when N.C.A.A. basketball tournaments are played as well as St. Patrick's Day. So they are warning now to quote "catch a sober ride". This latest campaign runs through April 7.

The State Police say a study of crash data has indicated both alcohol use and lack of seat belt use play a significant role in fatal and serious injury crashes in March and early April. Last year over this time period 2,271 were arrested on drunk driving charges in Michigan.
