Not just SC but everywhere! Stay safe out there on the roads…
** SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT – MAY 22 – MAY 25 **
Motorists across South Carolina will see additional law enforcement over the next few days as the SC Department of Public Safety conducts special enforcement over the long Memorial Day weekend.
South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers and STP officers will focus on enforcing all traffic violations, with a special emphasis on impaired driving; speeding and aggressive driving; seatbelt usage; and distracted driving and hands-free violations. Troopers will be positioned every 10 miles on all major interstates to help enforce safe driving practices.
Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff to summer and the official start of the 100 Deadly Days of Summer, when we historically see an increase in traffic fatalities. Please enjoy the season responsibly by buckling up, slowing down, and eliminating distractions. And remember — if alcohol is a part of your plans, designate a sober driver.
