State troopers arrested 95 impaired drivers during the end of the year “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.

The campaign ran from Dec. 11-Jan. 1. Troopers and dispatchers across Nebraska worked overtime during the final three weeks of the year in the interests of safety on highways and roads, NSP spokesman Cody Thomas said.

In addition to the 95 DUI arrests, troopers also issued citations for:

Speeding – 1,663, including 83 for driving more than 100 mph.

Driving under suspension – 115.

Open alcohol container – 67.

Minor in possession of alcohol – 36.

No seat belt – 48.

Improper child restraint -18.

Troopers also assisted 658 motorists in need of help, Thomas said.

“Driving safely is important during the holidays and every other time of the year,” said NSP Superintendent Col. John Bolduc. “As we continue through winter, we urge all drivers to be prepared for inclement weather and follow traffic safety laws to help keep Nebraska roadways safe.”

This effort was made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Highway Safety Office of the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
