North Dakota Targets Drunk Driving | Fargo News

North Dakota’s State Patrol and Traill County Sheriff’s Office are hitting the road with a high-impact sobriety checkpoint this Friday, August 21st, followed by saturation patrols — all aimed at slashing drunk driving. With 59 traffic deaths so far this year — 11 of them alcohol-related (18.6%) — officials are doubling down on Vision Zero, their bold mission to eliminate preventable road fatalities through enforcement, education, and smarter choices. Sergeant Christopher Schaefer warns of the human cost and urges everyone: plan ahead, don’t drive impaired, and always have a designated driver. Results from the operation will be posted online the following week — because safety starts with you. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
