The additional patrols are part of the Operation Pull Over safe-driving campaign. This is a nationwide effort designed to identify impaired drivers and to reduce the number of crashes caused by impaired driving, according to ISP.
Motorists can expect to see several sobriety checkpoints as well as extra patrols in certain high-traffic areas.
“Troopers will be looking for aggressive drivers that are speeding, following too close and making unsafe lane changes as well as violations of Indiana’s seatbelt law,” ?according to the department.
The ISP provided tips for drivers who wish to take additional precautions during their travels this weekend.
These tips included reminding drivers to always arrange for a designated driver, use public transportation such as a taxi or bus if you have consumed alcohol and to never let a drunk friend drive.
