The Nebraska State Patrol says troopers took 73 impaired drivers off the road during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign to close out the summer driving season. The enforcement effort ran from August 21 through September 7.
“This summer driving season has been unique, but our troopers’ dedication to keeping Nebraska roads safe has been steadfast,” says Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “As we move into the final months of the year, we encourage all drivers to do their part as well. For whatever reason you’re traveling, drive safely and drive sober.”
In addition to the 73 arrests for driving under the influence, Troopers also issued nearly 12-hundred speeding citations and assisted more than 700 drivers who needed help on the road.
