Drivers urged to celebrate this 4th of July weekend responsibly From Marla Marrs Frankfort, KY - Team Kentucky reminds all Kentuckians to drive sober and celebrate responsibly this Independence Day to keep everyone safe on the roads. Drivers are encouraged to make plans early for a sober ride home and should expect an increased law enforcement presence during the holiday weekend to prevent drunk driving crashes, as even one drink can impair a driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle. To prevent tragedies, follow these recommendations:
Alongside the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials are reminding drivers to "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" and remember that "Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving." According to Kentucky State Police crash records, last year there were 55 crashes involving a drunken and/or drugged driver over the Fourth of July holiday period, resulting in 30 injuries and three deaths. As part of a nationwide initiative, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is coordinating with local and state law enforcement agencies to increase high-visibility patrols and sobriety checkpoints throughout the holiday period. KOHS also provides a checkpoint truck equipped with testing equipment and a checkpoint trailer for use by law enforcement partner agencies. "You might feel okay to drive, but even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can impair your ability to drive safely, think clearly or react quickly," said Transportation Secretary Rebecca Goodman. "Don't take the risk of putting yourself and others on the road in danger." This story was posted on 2026-07-01 12:11:13
