Statewide Iowa — Law officers in northwest Iowa and across the state have started a two-week enforcement effort on the state’s highways as part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.
Patrick Hoye, spokesman for the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau, says August and Labor Day weekend are among the deadliest times to travel Iowa’s roads.
Law officers will concentrate on several key problem areas.
He offers a few simple recommendations for motorists.
Hoye says there were five traffic fatalities in Iowa over Labor Day weekend last year.
