If
you are traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday – remember about two million
other Floridians will be traveling too so please drive carefully.
The Highway patrol says their
officers will be out in force during the heavily traveled Thanksgiving holiday
weekend.
Officers generally assigned to
desk jobs will be put on the road over the holiday, looking for impaired
driving, safety belt use and child restraint violations, as well as aggressive
driving, speeding, and other hazardous moving violations.
The increased highway patrol
presence will continue through midnight on Sunday.
And Thanksgiving can be a
dangerous time to drive - during last year’s Thanksgiving holiday period, there
were over 4700 accidents and 35 traffic related deaths statewide.
The Highway patrol is also
asking for help from the public in keeping the weekend as safe as possible.
Motorists can report impaired,
aggressive, or dangerous drivers by calling *FHP (*347) from a cellular phone.
