Drive carefully this Thanksgiving holiday - The Highway Patrol will be watching


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.
