DRINKING AND DRIVING IS A BAD IDEA ANYTIME … BUT ESPECIALLY NOW. GOVERNOR MARTINEZ SAYS NEW MEXICO IS PARTICIPATING IN THE NATIONAL “DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER” CAMPAIGN THAT STARTS FRIDAY, AUGUST 18TH, AND RUNS THROUGH THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
IT MEANS MORE POLICE ON THE ROADS … MORE DWI CHECKPOINTS … AND MORE SATURATION PATROLS. PRELIMINARY DATA SHOWS THERE HAVE BEEN 76 DWI DEATHS IN THIS STATE SO FAR THIS YEAR … DOWN NEARLY 30 PERCENT FROM THE THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
THE 100 DAYS AND NIGHTS OF SUMMER CAMPAIGN IS ALSO CONTINUING THROUGH SEPTEMBER.
