NHP and law enforcement statewide to focus on impaired drivers over Labor Day weekend
The Nevada Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies statewide will be combining resources and joining forces from Sept. 3 through Sept. 13, 2020 to apprehend impaired drivers.
Each year, motorists across Nevada are killed or injured because someone made the decision to drive impaired. In 2018, 133 people died on Nevada’s roadways in impaired driving crashes.
Impaired driving doesn’t mean just alcohol; it is anything that affects your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Being a responsible driver is simple: if you are impaired, do not drive.
Whether it’s a designated driver or public transportation, everyone should make sure they have a plan in place to avoid any chance of making a poor decision that could lead to unnecessary tragedy.
This Joining Forces campaign reflects the unwavering mission of the Nevada Highway Patrol and its dedication to keeping the public safe by finding, investigating, and apprehending persons driving while impaired on Nevada’s highways.
