Make a Sober Ride Part of Your Labor Day Plans.
For many Montanans, Memorial Day weekend kicks off the start of summer travel,
culminating with Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, these summer months can also
be some of the deadliest on Montana’s roads due to increased motor vehicle crashes.As part of a nationwide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” mobilization running
from August 16, 2023, through September 4, 2023, law enforcement
agencies and the Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) will be increasing patrols to
watch for and stop impaired drivers on Montana’s roadways. Before you makeplans to travel for Labor Day weekend, plan for safe, sober transportation and
insist your friends and family do the same. Remember to always buckle up
before you go, as using your seat belt is your best defense against serious
injury or death in the event you’re in a crash. This is a Vision Zero Message fromthe Montana Department of Transportation. Learn more about the goal of Vision
Zero and impaired driving prevention
