NHTSA Launches Winter Holiday Crackdown on Drunk Drivers
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) has a new press release about a national crackdown against impaired driving that involves thousands of law enforcement agencies throughout the country and runs through the New Year’s holiday.
“Drunk driving is one of the most serious, and preventable, dangers we face on our roadways,” NHTSA Acting Administrator David Kelly said. “Sadly, the death toll from drunk-driving crashes is higher between Christmas and New Year’s than any other time.”

Please have a safe and happy holiday season and remember that Virginia has some of the toughest impaired driving laws in the nation.
