With the holiday season just around the corner, Ladd police has joined forces with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Drive High, Get a DUI enforcement campaign to ensure that festive gatherings don’t end in tragedy.

Through Jan. 2, law enforcement agencies across Illinois will adopt a zero-tolerance policy for impaired driving to keep our roads safe.

Ladd police urges everyone to take the following simple steps to prevent impaired driving:

  • Plan ahead: Designate a sober driver.
  • Report dangers: If you spot an impaired driver, pull over safely and contact Local Law Enforcement.
  • Be a hero: Stop a friend from driving impaired by taking their keys and helping them get home safely.
  • Buckle up: It’s your best defense against impaired drivers.

This campaign is made possible through federal highway safety funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administered by IDOT.
