Press Release from the Lima Allen County Regional Planning Commission: Lima, OH- (November 23, 2022) As Americans take to the roadways this holiday season, thousands of traffic injuries and fatalities are predicted. Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, law enforcement will be out in full force all over the state to enforce Ohio’s impaired driving laws, as well as to make sure everyone drives safe and buckles up. The Allen County Sheriff’s Office and other local agencies as well as the Ohio State Highway Patrol have scheduled overtime enforcement from November 23 through 27.
Now through the beginning of the year, as our community celebrates the Holidays, always remember:
· Don’t drink and drive, always designate a non-drinking driver
· Never serve alcohol to those under the legal drinking age of 21
· Be a responsible party host, don’t let guests drive after consuming alcoholic beverages
· Report suspected impaired drivers to law enforcement and pull over before using a cell phone
· Always buckle up
