The Kansas Highway Patrol is partnering with Mothers Against Drunk Driving Kansas and local law enforcement agencies for a statewide DUI enforcement today. The focus of the enforcement is to remove impaired drivers from Kansas roadways. It’s the 4th Annual “Saturation Saturday” Campaign. Law enforcement will implement DUI Check Lanes and saturation patrols to combat impaired driving across the state. This years’ “Saturation Saturday” campaign happens to coincide with the Annual, “.You Drink. You Drive. You lose.” Campaign. Thanks to funding provided by the Kansas Department of Transportation, the patrol will have additional coverage available during this period to help ensure motorists reach their destinations safely.
“Saturation Saturday” aims at lowering the number of drunk driving crashes and fatalities during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year. With Labor Day Weekend quickly approaching, the patrol encourages you to celebrate safely by planning to have a designated driver, or using a ride share service if you will be drinking.
