Naperville PoliceDrive sober or get pulled over

The Naperville Police Department announced today it again will conduct special patrols this Super Bowl weekend to keep impaired drivers off the roads and encourage more people to wear their seat belts. The messages are familiar and simple: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket.

“We need your help to keep alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers off our roads,” said Naperville Police Sgt. Derek Zook. “All it takes is a game plan. Before you go to the party, decide if you’re drinking or driving – never do both.”

Designating a sober driver and not allowing friends to drive impaired are just two of several simple steps to help avoid a tragic crash or a DUI arrest.

“We will also be checking for compliance with seat belt laws,” Sgt. Zook said, “so remember to buckle up.”

Other important tips

 Call a taxi, use mass transit, or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely;

 Report impaired drivers to law enforcement;

 Spend the night where the activity is being held and sleep it off;

 Always buckle up – it’s your best defense against an impaired driver.

“We will show zero tolerance,” said Sgt. Zook. “So remember, designate your sober driver before the parties begin.”

The Naperville Police Department’s Super Bowl enforcement effort is made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
