Drunken driving initiative to start

Post-Tribune staff report Feb 28, 2011 08:56AM


Indiana State Police will start a two-week crackdown Friday on drunk drivers, according to a release.

Along with looking out for people driving while intoxicated, police working overtime will focus on aggressive drivers and people not wearing a seat belt, the release said.

The push, which will last until March 20 and covers St. Patrick’s Day, is meant to help bring down alcohol-related deaths. The release said 41 people died in the state in March 2009, and a driver who was operating while intoxicated was involved in 24 percent of those crashes.

“Impaired driving is a drive - one too deadly to ignore,” Lt. Lou Brown, commander of the state police Lowell District, said in the release. “That’s why we don’t give warnings or accept excuses. If you’re over the limit in our 11-county coverage, you will be arrested.”

After the checkpoint is complete, troopers will conduct roving saturation patrols seeking impaired drivers throughout the district.

If you didn't have a drinking problem, police checkpoints wouldn't bother you.
