ASP urging drivers to drive sober

Arkansas State Police are taking action as April 20 approaches, a date widely recognized as an unofficial marijuana holiday. In collaboration with the U. S. Department of Transportation, they are urging drivers to remain sober behind the wheel. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stresses the importance of driving without impairment, highlighting that operating a vehicle under the influence of marijuana is not only illegal but also dangerous.

Police officers assert that if you feel different, you drive different, reinforcing the notion that driving high can lead to serious legal repercussions, such as a DWI. The campaign serves as a timely reminder for individuals to plan for a sober ride home, especially during this celebratory period. With an emphasis on safety, the initiative aims to reduce the risks associated with impaired driving. This effort reflects a broader commitment to enhancing road safety and protecting lives. As the day draws near, authorities continue to advocate for responsible driving practices.
