Mothers Against Drunk Driving and 39 Colorado police agencies will take part in a nationwide campaign this weekend called “Saturation Saturday” to crack down on drunk driving.
Drivers can expect to see increased patrols, sobriety checkpoints and more messaging about driving while drunk or impaired by drugs, according to a news release from MADD.
“We know that the days before Labor Day weekend are among the most heavily traveled and can be the most dangerous on our roads for the general public and for law enforcement,” said MADD president Helen Witty in the release. “We want to stand with them to remind everyone that these waning days of summer are a time for fun, not tragedy.”
