If you are traveling over the
Thanksgiving holiday – remember a few 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 about 4000 accidents and 43
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.
