An enhanced law enforcement effort from the California Highway Patrol has been issued for the next 10 months. According to the recent news the number of fatalities involving DUI collisions has increased greatly in the past years.
By insuring California’s roadways are safe, authorities keep motorists safe. The California Highway Patrol hopes to lower the number of DUI related victims substantially by raising the number of troopers on duty.
The news reports that a DUI task force along with local law enforcement agencies are organizing themselves to provide an enhanced anti-DUI surveillance. CHP officials claim that a tougher oversight will make drivers think twice before drinking and driving.
Troopers confirm that the emphasis of this effort is on the capturing of motorists driving while intoxicated but that it’s not the only issue officers are looking forward to eradicate. Drowsy and distracted driving will also keep officers busy.
As a Fresno car accident lawyer I urge all drivers to engage in a safe driving behavior. Unfortunately, any personal injury lawyer is awfully familiar with the fatalities of DUI related crashes. Don’t be a victim, stay alert and drive safely and whenever you have a doubt about a personal injury case you or a loved one is involved with, contact your lawyer right away.
