TROOPER JACK SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK Your Indiana State Police remind you that many of the traffic accidents which occur over the Christmas holidays involve drinking drivers. Just a few drinks can reduce judgement, self-control and driving ability. “The one who drives when he's been drinking depends on you to do his thinking.” We wonder when some people we know find time to breathe
