DRIVE IMPAIRED, GO TO JAIL!
OPERATION ZERO TOLERANCE (OZT) is a statewide enforcement initiative to raise driver awareness to the deadly consequences of drunk driving. Impaired drivers cause one-out-of-five fatality crashes on Georgia highways each year. Drivers who violate Georgia’s DUI laws will go to jail! If you’re Over The Limit–you’re Under Arrest.
DRIVE SAFE. BE SAFE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Responsible driving should be as much a holiday tradition as gift shopping. The travel period between Thanksgiving and New Years is one of the most dangerous and deadly times on our highways. Traffic crashes killed 162 people in Georgia last December and 1,076 died nationwide. So Drive Sober and Buckle-Up! Safety belts are still your best protection against an encounter with a drunk driver on the road.
OZT NEWS CONFERENCE SCHEDULED
Join law enforcement agencies from Savannah and Coastal Georgia at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center, overlooking the Savannah River and the scenic River Street hospitality district for the Operation Zero Tolerance December enforcement campaign news conference Friday, December 14, 2007 at 10:30AM.
BLUE LIGHTS & BAT-TRAILERS* AT DUI-ROADCHECKS
News Media Invited: Reporters & photographers can ride-along with law enforcement after the news conference or interview Georgia’s Miss International 2007, Whitney Kudela, an advocate for MADD-Georgia and those whose lives are changed forever by drunk drivers. Witness an on-site demonstration of a DUI-crime-fighting “BAT-Trailer” as an active backdrop for your noon live-shot.
OZT ENFORCEMENT WAVE FOLLOWS
Nearly ten-percent of all Georgia traffic deaths last year occurred during the holiday season between December 1st and January 1st. During “OZT” Georgia law enforcement agencies will conduct a joint wave of high-visibility sobriety checkpoints throughout the state from Friday, December 14, 2007 through Tuesday, January 1, 2008 to catch DUI-drivers.
PLANNING TO PARTY? PLAN FOR A DESIGNATED DRIVER FIRST!
Georgians who plan to party, should plan first for a designated driver, plan to take a taxi, or plan to spend the night.. Because anyone caught driving under the influence should plan to go to jail! The Chatham County Operation Zero Tolerance crackdown is part of a statewide warning to Georgians to Slow Down, Buckle Up, and Drive Sober.
