NAPPANEE For most Hoosiers, the winter holiday season is a special time to join family and friends to celebrate the season and welcome the New Year. Unfortunately, the winter holidays also bring one of the deadliest times pf year on Indiana’s highways for impaired driving. Between Dec. 19 and Jan. 4, the Nappanee Police Department will be out in the area targeting impaired drivers. During this enforcement period, over 220 law enforcement departments will intensify the search for impaired drivers. Indiana’s enforcement period supports the national “You Drink & You Drive. You Lose” Mobilization. “Our goal is to make sure that the people traveling in Nappanee get to their destinations safely, not just during the holidays, but throughout the year,” said Ptl. Brad Balasa. “There are still many people who don’t realize the threat they are on the roads after one drink. Drunk drivers are a threat to everyone’s safety. There will be no warnings issued this holiday season. Our message is simple You Drink and Drive. You Lose.” Impaired driving is no accident. It kills a motorist every 33 minutes. After a decade of gradual success,

fatalities in alcohol-related crashes have not significantly improved nationally in the last three years. With trends such as these, the Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving of Indiana provided law enforcement departments the funds to increase their enforcement efforts. As a direct result Indiana has lowered their alcohol fatalities on roadways as national numbers increased. These results demonstrate the dedication and commitment the Nappanee Police Department has in keeping Indiana’s roadways safe. Indiana drivers’ best defense in a crash involving an impaired driver is to be wearing their seat belt. Wearing a seat belt reduces the chance of death or injury by nearly 50 percent. Drivers also need to know that wearing their seat belt is the law. The Nappanee Police Department will also participate in a countywide enforcement, DUI Taskforce, a program designed by the Council to further reduce alcohol-related crashes and fatalities in Indiana. For more information regarding You Drink, You Drive, You Lose, please contact the Nappanee Police Department at 7734111 or the Governor’s Council at (317) 232-1295 or visit www.in.gov/cji.
