From August 16 to September 4, Louisiana transportation safety professionals and law enforcement officers will join forces to conduct the national high-visibility enforcement campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Coinciding with the Labor Day holiday weekend, this campaign hopes to remind everyone to make responsible and safe decisions when heading out to festivities during a holiday that's considered to be one of the deadliest times of the year in terms of drunk-driving fatalities.
