Beginning December 26, and continuing through January 2nd, the Kingman Police Department will join many other law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, in the
New Year’s Taking Down DUI traffic enforcement campaign.
The New Year’s Holiday period outranks most of the other holidays in number of crashes in which at least one of the drivers is impaired.
So, plan ahead. Leave your car at home and ride with a designated driver or take other transportation services. If you are hosting a party, make sure everyone has a sober ride home. If you see what appears to be an impaired driver, please call 911, you might just save a life.
Keep in mind that if you are going to be using ANY impairing substance– don’t even consider driving. Line up a ride with a sober acquaintance or other safe transportation BEFORE you go out. Make the right choice, the sober choice.
