QUINCY, FL (WTXL) - Be sure to drive sober Labor Day weekend or you might just get pulled over by the Quincy Police Department.
Quincy police are expected to start their "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over"campaign on Friday and continue until Sept. 5th. During this period, law enforcement will have zero tolerance for drunk driving.
"People need to understand that drunk driving is not only deadly, but it is illegal," said Quincy Police Department Chief Glenn H. Sapp. "Drunk driving is a massive problem in the United States, with more than 10,000 people dying annually. Drivers need to pay attention to their own driving, but also to others on the road who could be driving drunk," he said.
The department are also expected to increase the amount of officers on the road and have sobriety checkpoints.
