Nearly 10,000 people die on the road each year due to drunk driving; 1,075 people died in Texas in 2010 in impaired driving crashes where at least the driver of a vehicle or a rider on a motorcycle had a BAC of .08 or higher. In order to stop this deadly epidemic, raise public awareness about the dangers of impaired driving, and most importantly, to save lives and prevent injuries on our roadways, a nationwide impaired-driving enforcement crackdown, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” will be conducted mid-December through New Year’s Day.

Sheriff David Warren would like to remind the citizens and visitors of Nolan County that deputies along with local and state law enforcement will be out in force and aggressively looking for impaired drivers. Driving impaired is not worth the risk, so don’t take the chance. ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.’
