The Lane County Sheriff ’s Office and Lane County
transportation planners remind everyone to drive
sober and slow down this holiday season
“We typically see an
increase in impaired
driving during the holi-
days,” said Lane County
Sheriff ’s Sergeant Tim
Ware. “People are busy
celebrating and maybe
not tracking their alcohol
or cannabis consump-
tion. We also tend to en-
counter people who are
drinking or using other
substances more during
the holidays to cope with
family or seasonal stress-
ors – and if they get be-
hind the wheel it can be
deadly.”
Utilizing grant funding
provided through Ore-
gon Impact, the Sheriff ’s
Office will be staffing
additional DUII patrols
this holiday season.
Stay safe:
Plan ahead for a sober
driver to safely drive you

savings and doings around town.
to your destination. As
with drunk driving, it is
essential that drug-im-
paired drivers refrain
from driving a vehicle.
Passengers should nev-
er ride with an impaired
driver. If you think a
driver may be impaired,
do not get in the car.
Do you have a friend
or family member who
is about to drive while
impaired by alcohol or
drugs? Take the keys
away and arrange to get
them home safely. Don’t
worry about offending
someone — they’ll thank
you later.
If you see an impaired
driver on the road, call 9-1-1.
“We especially want to
remind people who will
be driving in rural Lane
County this holiday sea-
son,” said Becky Taylor.
“Our rural county roads
are often winding and
narrow with little room
to recover if you leave
your travel lane. Sadly,
there are several county
roads with high num-
bers of serious injury or
fatal crashes, including
London Road south of
Cottage Grove which is
our first Safety Corridor
and the focus of several
education and engineer-
ing efforts.”
