Police departments across Bucks County will be on the lookout for impaired drivers and will take part in a countywide enforcement detail Wednesday evening from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. on Thanksgiving.

“Remember, if you drive hammered, you get nailed,” he added.

The effort will involve DUI enforcement patrols with “zero tolerance toward drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol,” according to state police.
“DUI is a serious crime that puts Pennsylvanians at risk every day, but it is also 100 percent preventable,” said state police Major Bruce Williams, director of the bureau of patrol. “PSP and its local law enforcement partners have zero tolerance toward driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Troopers will also look to make sure drivers and front-seat passengers are buckled up, and kids are secured in properly installed child safety seats.
