VELDA CITY-CRACKING DOWN ON DRUNK DRIVERS
Zero Tolerance Means Zero Chances
City of Velda City- With prom and graduation season here, Missouri law enforcement
wants to make sure Missouri youth are celebrating safe and sober. The Velda City Police
Department will join other Missouri law enforcement agencies to crack down on drunk
driving May 4-13, 2011.
It is illegal for someone under 21 to possess or consume alcohol in Missouri, yet youth
make up a significant proportion of drunk drivers causing traffic crashes on Missouri
roadways. Missouri has a Zero Tolerance Law. If you are under 21, your license will be
suspended if you're caught driving with even a trace of alcohol in your system.
Consequences of drunk driving include jail time, loss of their driver licenses, or being
sentenced to use ignition interlocks. Insurance rates go up. Other financial hits includes
attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of a job or job prospects.
When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators can also face tremendous personal
embarrassment and humiliation.
"Driving drunk is imply not worth all the consequences," stated Chief Daniel Paulino.
"Zero tolerance means zero chances: You drink and Drive. You lose."
In 2010 in Missouri, 234 people were killed and 957 seriously injured in crashes
involving an impaired driver. For more information, please visit
CHECKPOINTS:
During the summer months, statistically; more vehicle accidents and DWI offenders occur between June-November. Due to that, the Velda City Police Department will conduct several checkpoints during the summer months. Please contact the Police Department if you have any questions about the checkpoints. It is our mission to reduce accidents and arrest DWI offender as much as possible. We believe that checkpoints help us accomplish this goal. We will conduct checkpoints as safe and quickly as possible to ensure drivers they are not held in traffic long or late to their final destination. REMINDER: U-Turns are illegal along Lucas & Hunt Road. PLEASE OBEY ALL TRAFFIC SIGNS!!
