Independence Day Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over/Click It or
Ticket crackdown statistics released
Plainfield, IL — Plainfield Police made 2 drunk -driving arrests and issued 41 seat belt
citations during the recent Independence Day Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over/Click It or
Ticket crackdown on drunk drivers and seat belt law violators.
Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this statewide effort to get
drunk drivers off our roadways and encourage seat belt use during the busy
Independence Day holiday.
Plainfield Police joined forces with state and local law enforcement agencies in
conducting the crackdown campaign, which featured high -visibility enforcement
combined with a variety of outreach activities, including a media campaign and
additional police activity.
Extra emphasis was given to the late-night hours when statistics show the highest number
of motorists drink and drive and the fewest buckle up.
The recent law enforcement crackdown was coordinated by the Illinois Department of
Transportation as part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or
Ticket campaigns.
