across Kansas in a crackdown aimed at removing impaired drivers from the roadways during “You Drink. You Drive. You Lose”.
Alcohol is the main impairing substance people think of while driving, but illegal recreational drugs, such as marijuana, are just as dangerous. Driving high and or drunk can still lead to a DUI, or worse.
Those convicted of impaired driving will face stiff penalties, hefty financial consequences, and time in jail. Take charge and don’t allow this to happen - designate a sober driver, use rideshare, take public transportation, or stay home. According to Director Brian Peete, the “You Drink. You Drive. You Lose.” enforcement campaign is intended to remind drivers to take a moment to consider how it would be to begin every day with the memory of your decision if it resulted in injury or death.
Make the right choice.
