Advisory

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

Each year on average, more than 10,000 people die on the road due to drunk driving. In order to stop this deadly epidemic, police will continue to crack down on drinking and driving.

In Michigan, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher, although motorists can be arrested at any BAC level for impaired driving.

Law enforcement officers from police departments, sheriff’s offices and the Michigan State Police in 26 counties are taking part in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign through April 7. This time period includes the NCAA tournament, many high school and college spring break vacations and St. Patrick’s celebrations.

In 2014, 2,279 people in Michigan were arrested for drunk driving during this time period. Of those, 691 were charged under the state’s high blood alcohol content (BAC) law.

Remember, if you are celebrating and drinking, have a designated driver or call for a ride.
