March 11, 2024 – With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, the Oak Park Police Department is reminding motorists that officers will be out in full force to keep roads safe from the dangers of drunk driving.
“Because St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, we anticipate that alcohol consumption will increase both that day and throughout the weekend,” said Oak Park Police Chief Shatonya Johnson. “We ask everyone to celebrate responsibly, starting with a plan for a sober ride home before you leave the house.”
St. Patrick’s Day can be a dangerous one on America’s roads due to increased alcohol consumption and drunk driving. There were 272 lives lost in drunk-driving crashes over the St. Patrick’s Day holiday between 2017 and 2021.
In addition to looking for alcohol- and cannabis-impaired drivers, the Oak Park Police Department will be stepping up seat belt enforcement, particularly at night when seat belt usage rates are lowest. Speeding, distracted driving and all traffic laws will be strictly enforced.
The campaign runs through March 18.
Whether you’re attending a party, hosting friends or going out to a bar, keep safety at the forefront of your day and night. When it’s time to leave, make sure your designated driver is sober.
Remember that walking impaired can also be dangerous, so designate a sober friend to walk home with you. Designated drivers: Be alert for impaired walkers who may not obey street signs.
Other important tips:
The St. Patrick’s Day enforcement campaign is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation with federal highway safety funds managed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
