From the Lake in the Hills Police:
Holiday campaign brings impaired drivers to justice, boosts seat belt use
Lake in the Hills, IL — This past holiday season, the Lake in the Hills Police Department teamed up with the Illinois Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies statewide for the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High. Get a DUI.” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns. From Dec. 12 through Jan. 5,
officers focused on removing impaired drivers from the road and ensuring that motorists were properly
buckled.
From rural routes and small-town streets to busy suburban arterials and city expressways, the goal was the same: to prevent crashes and save lives.
The result was a safer holiday season with 39 citations for seat belt violations, as well as citations for
speeding, distracted driving and other traffic offenses.
- 39 – Failure to Wear Seat Belt
- 1 – Speeding
- 7 – Operating a Motor Vehicle While Using an Electronic Communication Device
- 1 – Expired Registration
- 1 – Driving While License Suspended arrest
The holiday enforcement campaign was administered by IDOT with federal highway safety funds managed y the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is part of Illinois’ “It’s Not a Game” statewide media outreach program.
