At your local Nissan NJ dealership, we care about your safety, your family’s safety and the safety of everybody on the roadways. And with Labor Day Weekend fast approaching, your NJ dealership wanted to pass along some bits of information.
As with every Labor Day Weekend, New Jersey (along with most other states in the nation) crack down on drunk driving. They put many more police officers on the road to patrol the highways for drivers under the influence of alcohol. This year is no different.
On August 15, New Jersey began its statewide crackdown by adding many more traffic officers to the highways. With gas prices as high as they are and an uncertain economy, more residents are expected to stay close to home this year, making the highways more crowded and dangerous than usual. “That’s why it’s imperative that all driers remain safe and sober,” explained the director of the state Division of Highway Traffic Safety, Pam Fischer.
This year’s campaign, titled “Over the Limit, Under Arrest” (pretty catchy if you ask me), involves a number of checkpoints throughout the state.
According to a recent poll, though, nearly 70 percent of NJ drivers are pleased with the crackdown. They listed drunk driving as the top priority for the state and felt that police officers should enforce the laws more efficiently.
Before they official Labor Day Weekend starts, why not visit your local Nissan dealer and get a great new car to enjoy your long weekend? It’s a great way to relax and appreciate the waning days of summer. Just remember to drive sober and be careful and everything should be just fine.
