With attention now on the “You Drink, You Drive, You Lose” traffic enforcement campaign involving local and state law enforcement, the Kansas Highway Patrol has announced the results of a multi-state enforcement effort from last month.
Troopers worked in conjunction with state law enforcement agencies in Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska on a high-visibility speeding enforcement effort. The Highway Patrol has announced that it made 105 arrests for suspected driving under the influence. Other stats are as follows:
*Crashes: 638
*Speed citations: 6,270
*Speed warnings: 4,852
*Seat belt citations: 734
*Seat belt warnings: 78
*Other traffic violation citations: 2,524
The Highway Patrol says it’s important to continue safe driving practices, especially as traffic numbers rebound from the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
“You Drink, You Drive, You Lose,” the current traffic enforcement campaign focusing on traffic infractions and impaired driving, pauses at the end of Sunday. It resumes Thursday and ends Labor Day.
