HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Law enforcement agencies across Kansas are preparing for the annual You Drink, You Drive, You Lose campaign. From August 17 through Labor Day, September 2, law enforcement agencies across Kansas will engage in a crackdown aimed at removing impaired drivers from the roadways.
Alcohol is the main impairing substance people think of while driving, but illegal recreational drugs, such as marijuana, are just as dangerous.
Driving high and/or drunk can still lead to a DUI, or worse. Those convicted of impaired driving will face stiff penalties, hefty financial consequences, and time in jail.
Take charge and don’t allow this to happen - designate a sober driver or stay home. The enforcement campaign is intended to remind drivers to take a moment to consider how it would be to begin every day with the memory of your decision if it resulted in injury or death.
