With the approach of the long Memorial Day weekend and the continuation of graduation parties, Hawaii Police will be on alert to help prevent tragedy on our roads.
Officers will conduct DUI checkpoints and roving patrols beginning Friday and continuing through Memorial Day, Monday, May 29. The effort is part of a national and statewide campaign called “Drunk Driving: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over”
Every day, 28 people in the United States die in an alcohol-related vehicle crash — that’s one person every 53 minutes. Drunk driving fatalities have fallen by a third in the last three decades; however, the chance of being in an alcohol-impaired crash is still one in three over the course of a lifetime. These deaths and damages contribute to a cost of $52 billion per year.
