Ridgewood’s Police Department will participate in the Statewide “Over the Limit, Under Arrest” impaired driving enforcement campaign between December 7, 2007, and January 2, 2008. The program is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through high-visibility enforcement and to arrest motorists who choose to drive while impaired by either drugs or alcohol.
Law enforcement agencies recommend:
1) Be responsible and don’t risk it…you will be caught
2) If you plan to drink, choose a designated driver before going out
3) Realize before going out that every drink you have makes it more difficult to know when you’ve had too much to drive
4) Take a taxicab or ask a sober friend to drive you home
5) Spend the night where the activity is held
6) Report impaired drivers to law enforcement
7) Always buckle up – it’s your best defense against an impaired driver.
Ridgewood Police Chief William M. Corcoran and his officers wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
