· Before drinking, designate a sober driver; · If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation so you are sure to get home safely; · If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact the Louisiana State Police by dialing *LSP (*577) on your cellular phone. · And remember, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely. Additional DWI checkpoints are planned for our area. Support for this DWI checkpoint was provided by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission. Contact Information Sgt.
