Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign, which started Nov. 25, will run through Jan. 2, 2011. Local law enforcement will conduct extra DUI patrols throughout Snohomish County to rid the roads of impaired drivers during the holiday season.
"Getting killed or injured by an impaired driver should not be the price we pay to drive our roads," Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick said. "Police chiefs and I agree that removing impaired drivers is one of our highest priorities this holiday season. We've been told to expect bad weather this winter, and we need everyone to take their driving seriously. If you choose to drink and drive, you will be arrested."
The average blood alcohol level of people arrested in Washington for DUI is about .14. That's almost twice the legal limit of .08.
Especially at this time of year, law enforcement officers statewide advise all holiday party-goers to designate a sober driver, take a taxi or choose not to drink alcohol. This Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign is a joint effort between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, law enforcement statewide and Snohomish County DUI & Target Zero Traffic Safety Task Force.
