If you are planning on driving to Rocklahoma over the Labor Day weekend, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol is reminding motorists not to drink and drive.

The ENDUI team is partnering with the Mayes County Sheriff’s Office and the Pryor Police Department this weekend for saturation patrols in Mayes County as part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” national campaign.

Additional officers and troopers will be on duty looking for impaired drivers across the state. In 2021, 407 people were killed in drug and/or alcohol-related crashes in Oklahoma.

OHP is encouraging everyone to find a safe ride by calling a sober driver, using a cab, Uber, Lyft or any other ride-share service. Better yet, have a designated driver.

OHP says they want people to have fun and enjoy life, but do not, under any circumstances, drive while impaired by alcohol or any other substance. The cost is too high.
