S.C. drivers soon will begin to see more DUI enforcement on the roads as part of an effort aimed at curbing collisions and fatalities as the summer travel season comes to an end.
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety partnered with local hospitals, first responders and law enforcement agencies from across the state Thursday to launch its annual Sober or Slammer! campaign. The crackdown on impaired drivers begins Friday and continue through Labor Day.
The increased DUI enforcement will be coupled with S.C. Department of Transportation’s electronic message boards that will display bulletins alerting drivers of DUI crackdowns in progress. The message boards have been used throughout the summer on designated DUI enforcement weekends.
