Governor Bob Riley is urging Alabamians not to drink and drive during the New Year’s holidays.
Riley joined State Troopers in Montgomery to encourage citizens to drink responsibly.
“We have been working hard this year to minimize traffic deaths through our Take Back Our Highways program, and it is working,” said Governor Riley. “We want to continue that success throughout the holidays. In order to do that, we need your help. I encourage all of you to be safe and not drink and drive. Remember, the life you save could be your own.”
All available troopers will be on patrol during peak holiday travel times. They will emphasize DUI enforcement during patrols and checkpoints between 6 p.m. Friday and midnight on New Year’s Day. Last year, 10 people died during the 78-hour New Year’s travel period. At least two of those deaths were alcohol related.
If you have too much to drink, just call the Operation 40 Proof Hotline at 251.460.8999. Operation 40 Proof offers "Free" Rides to anyone who has been drinking.
