Always drive sober or find a sober ride

JAMESTOWN, N.D. – Law enforcement across the state will have extra patrols to remove impaired drivers from the road during Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over from Dec. 15 – Jan. 31, 2024.

Alcohol is a factor in 35-40 percent of fatal crashes annually in North Dakota, yet each fatality is 100% preventable by driving sober or finding a sober ride.

"Make a plan on how you will get home safely before you consume alcohol, but more importantly stick to that plan," said Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin. "There's no excuse for driving impaired."

This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
