The Florida Highway Patrol is part of a national campaign today through Sept. 6 to reduce the number of drunken drivers on state roads.
The campaign, “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.,” encompasses the Labor Day holiday weekend, which begins Sept. 3, the Highway Patrol said in a news release.
In addition to cracking down on drunken driving, troopers will participate in Operation Combined Accident Reduction Effort during the four-day holiday weekend to enforce the state’s seat belt law.
Florida’s primary seat belt law authorizes law enforcement officers to stop and cite motorists solely for failure to buckle up, the news release said.
