For Immediate Release: 05/20/2013
Please direct questions to the District Office
Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner and the Idaho State Police wants to remind motorists to stay safe during their travels. Many local law enforcement agencies including ISP have partnered with the Idaho Transportation Department's Office of Highway Safety for the upcoming Seatbelt Mobilization Patrol. During these patrols, officers will have zero tolerance for non-seatbelt usage including passengers. Agencies will also be gearing up for extra D.U.I. patrols during the holiday weekend, so please don't drink and drive.
ISP reminds motorists to stay alert while driving, slow down and leave early to arrive on time. ISP also wants to remind motorists to turn off their cell phones while driving. This will help to reduce the distraction while driving and help assure that your attention is focused on the road. If you need to make a call pull over or off the highway and take the few minutes to make the call. This simple decision could save you and your family from disaster. This has been the cause on many crashes this year including fatalities. ISP also asks that you buckle up and to make sure you secure your children in a proper car seat.
