Drive Safely this Labor Day!

According to a news release, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will increase DWI patrols during the Labor Day holiday weekend. The enhanced patrols that target impaired drivers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation.

"As the result of this grant, our troopers will be able to increase patrols on our roadways, which will make the roads safer for all travelers." said DPS Director Steven McCraw. "Drinking and driving is always a concern during holidays, and getting intoxicated drivers off our roads saves lives."

During the Labor Day enforcement effort last year, DPS troopers made more than 2,000 DWI arrests, and approximately 550 of those were the direct result of the increased patrols.

So while we encourage you to enjoy this beautiful Texas weather and your Labor Day holiday weekend, please don't drink and drive. Not only are you risking your safety, but you are risking the safety of others as well. 

DPS offers the following tips for safe travel during the Labor Day holiday:

• Don't drink and drive. Designate a driver or take a cab.

• Eliminate distractions, and don't text while driving.

• Buckle up everyone in the vehicle – it's the law.

• Slow down – especially in bad weather, construction areas and heavy traffic.

• Slow down or move over for tow trucks and police, fire and EMS vehicles stopped on the side of the road with emergency lights activated – it's the law.

• Don't drive fatigued.

• Drive defensively, as holiday travel may present additional challenges.

• Make sure your vehicle is properly maintained before your trip begins

TexasSure

In Texas, 1 in 5 vehicles isn't insured, 

now Texas law enforcement knows which ones they are. 

The program, TexasSure is designed to reduce the number of uninsured drivers and cut costs for responsible Texans, who annually pay almost $900 million to protect themselves against those with no coverage. 
The way TexasSure works is that it's a vehicle insurance verification system that allows law enforcement and county tax officials to confirm whether a vehicle in Texas has required personal auto liability insurance coverage. The penalties for not having auto insurance are high so be smart and be insured! More information about insurance verification is available from the Texas Department of Insurance.
