Holiday Campaign - Drive Sober Get Pulled Over

 

About the Campaign

The holiday season is a time for celebration, but it also remains one of the deadliest periods for impaired driving. Each year, lives are lost because of drivers who choose to drive under the influence. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over is a national high-visibility enforcement campaign focused on preventing impaired driving through strong enforcement and public awareness. The 2025 IDOT/BSPE Holiday Enforcement Mobilization runs from December 12, 2025, through January 5, 2026.

​

As law enforcement professionals and traffic safety advocates, your commitment plays a vital role in reducing crashes and fatalities caused by impaired driving. By increasing enforcement, elevating public awareness through paid, earned, and social media, and utilizing local resources, you can make a measurable difference in saving lives.

If your agency is in need of traffic safety materials to support this effort, please contact your Regional Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) to request available resources or CLICK HERE to go to NHTSA - Traffic Safety Marketing
