This summer, the Governor's Office of Highway Safety in Georgia will launch the largest and most comprehensive traffic education and enforcement campaign in this state's history.

"100 Days of Summer HEAT" will begin on May 21, 2007 with a National "Click It or Ticket" Campaign and continue throughout the Summer with sustained enforcement through Labor Day, ending on September 3 at the conclusion of a national impaired driving mobilization.

Almost 1,600 persons die each year on Georgia's roadways. On the average, 29 people are killed in motor vehicle crashes in Georgia every week. With "100 Days of Summer HEAT", the motoring public will know that Georgia law enforcement officers have a zero tolerance to excessive speeding, impaired driving, and occupant protection violations. A media campaign will begin prior to the High Visibility Enforcement campaign as a reminder to all drivers of the importance of safe driving before the official campaign is initiated.

Even though impaired driving and occupant protection violations will be targeted, a primary foucs of this campaign is speed. The initiative is aimed at reducing the hight number of fatality crashes on Georgia's highway systems and will target aggressive drivers, ticketing speeders, and sending impaired drivers to jail.

All summer long, aggressive drivers will be stopped at road checks or pulled over by concentrated patrols on the interstates, secondary corridors, and local highways. For the 100 Days of Summer Heat, police will actively search for speeders in passenger vehicles, eighteen wheelers and motorcycles.
