Law enforcement to crack down on driving under the influence Starting Friday and ending July 8, Mason Coun- ty law enforcement agencies will be participating in the Drive Hammered Get Nailed Campaign. Par- ticipating agencies are Washington State Patrol, Shelton Police Department, Mason County Sheriffs Office and Squaxin Island Police Department. The goal of the extra patrols is to rid Mason County roadways of drunk drivers. Between Janu- ary and May of this year 125 drunk drivers were arrested locally. As a reminder "Harley's Law" went into effect July 22 of last year. All DUI arrestees' cars will be impounded for at least 12 hours. Officers will also be looking for all traffic law vio- lators, including but not limited to speeding, seat belt use, aggressive driving and cell phone use. All these violations can lead to serious injury and/or fa- tality crashes. So please everyone buckle up, slow down, leave enough space between you and the car in front of you and hang up the phone. By following the traffic laws of Washington state we can all have a safe and happy 4th of July. Washington Traffic Safety is funding the cam- paign. Locally organized by the Target Zero Man- ager.
