OSP hopes for sober-driving,
fatality-free New Years
2013 was 'Fatality-Free'
during the 30-hour New
Year's holiday reporting
period and Oregon State
Police troopers intend
to repeat the trend (6:00
p.m. December 31, 2013,
through 11:59:p.m., Janu-
ary 1, 2014).
For 2014, OSP Troopers
and local law enforcement
partners will participate
in a national enforcement
effort, 'Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over,' to discour-
age impaired driving and
prevent alcohol-related
incidents on Oregon high-
ways. During the 2013 ef-
fort, OSP troopers reported
29 DUII arrests during the
30-hour reporting period,
22 of which were on Janu-
ary 1st.
Important safety tips for
holiday planning:
• Designated Driver
(DD) - If you haven't
worked out who will drive
if you're going to drink;
now's the time!
• Make it an Over-night-
er - couches or hotel rooms
make great landing pads
and are far more comfort-
able than a jail bed.
• Call a cab or use public
transportation - If you are
in Portland - TriMet is
giving free rides starting at
8:00 p.m., on New Year's
Eve (http://www.trimet.
org/alerts/newyear.htm).
Check your local area for
great offers like TriMet's!
• Be a good host - Tasty
non-alcoholic beverages
for the designated driver
of the group is a great
gesture; your DD will ap-
preciate it.
• Reach out for help - if
you've been drinking you
shouldn't be driving. Call a
cab, phone a friend or send
for backup on Twitter - it
may mean the difference in
someone else's life.
• If you do see a drinker
behind the wheel call and
report it: 9-1-1 or OSP at
1-800-24DRUNK (800-
243-7865)
Some startling data
from the National High-
way Traffi c Safety Admin-
istration (NHTSA) shows
that during the holiday sea-
son in 2012, 40 percent of
the drunk drivers involved
in fatal crashes had at least
one prior DUI on their re-
cord. And many offenders
are young drivers: during
that same holiday period
37 percent of the 21- to
24-year old drivers in fatal
crashes were drunk. Sur-
prisingly, almost 1 out of 6
drivers under the age of 21
in those fatal crashes were
also drunk, even though
they're too young to legally
buy or consume alcohol.
According to Oregon De-
partment of Transportation
(ODOT) Fatality Analysis
Reporting System (FARS),
since 1970, there were no
fatalities reported in 2003,
(30 hour period) and 2010,
(78 hour period). Pre-
liminary numbers for the
2014 Christmas holiday
reporting period indicate
(5) vehicle related fatali-
ties in Oregon, Wednesday
December 24 at 6:00 p.m.,
to Sunday December 28,
at 11:59 p.m.( The New
Year's holiday reporting
time is Wednesday De-
cember 31, at 6:00 p.m., to
Sunday January 4, 2015, at
11:59 p.m.)
