In a press release issued yesterday by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Thanksgiving travelers are urged to slow down, buckle up and drive Sober!
According the press release, during the Thanksgiving holiday last year, DPS troopers wrote 14,686 tickets for speeding and 3,358 tickets for no insurance. They wrote 2,138 tickets for no seat belts and 298 tickets for child restraint violations. DPS has a no-warnings policy for seat belt and child restraint violations.
Thanksgiving travelers should expect to see plenty of Highway Patrol troopers out on Texas roadways. Troopers will be looking for drivers who are speeding, driving while intoxicated or who are not properly restrained, or have passengers who aren’t buckled up.
