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.
