From the Crystal Lake Police Department:
The Crystal Lake Police Department is on the lookout for drunk and drugged driving this Halloween
The Crystal Lake Police Department urges motorists to commit to sober driving this Halloween, when children and their families will be walking through neighborhoods after dark in search of candy and spooky fun.
If you will be celebrating Halloween, remember to plan ahead for a sober ride home.
Planning ahead will help keep you – and others – safe.
Never get behind the wheel impaired.
It is illegal in Illinois to drive impaired by alcohol, marijuana, or any other impairing substance. DUI’s are not restricted to alcohol-related offenses.
If you drive high, you’ll get a DUI.
The Crystal Lake Police Department urges everyone to follow these simple tips to help keep our roads safe this Halloween:
- Plan a safe way to get home before you attend a party. You can designate a sober driver, take public transportation, use your favorite ride-sharing service, or call a sober friend or family member to get home.
- Walking while impaired can be just as dangerous as driving impaired. Designate a sober friend to walk you home.
- If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact local law enforcement as soon as it is safe to do so.
The Halloween enforcement and awareness effort is funded by federal highway safety dollars administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
