The Illinois Department of Transportation is urging motorists to drive sober and stay alert over the busy Labor Day holiday weekend.
Law enforcement agencies across the state will step up patrols and seat belt enforcement as part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign. Officials warn that Labor Day is one of the deadliest travel weekends of the year, with alcohol and drug impairment a leading factor in crashes.
IDOT is reminding drivers to plan ahead, use a designated driver, and buckle up.
