Holiday parties and activities are in full swing.
Law enforcement want to make sure that participants aren’t harmed in their travels.
The Prince William County Police Department (PWCPD) is urging motorists to avoid driving intoxicated.
This month, police officers across Virginia will be addressing drunk driving by enforcing laws and educating the public, according to a release.
Alcohol may impact a driver’s ability to brake properly, stay in the correct lane, and pay attention to objects that are moving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Impaired driving can cause preventable injuries and death.
More than 10,000 people died in alcohol-related crashes last year, according to the NHTSA.
The PWCPD is not tolerating drunk driving and will arrest any intoxicated individuals they find behind the wheel.
