Everett Lynnwood Snohomish County DUI Attorney: Cops increasing DUI patrols during St. Patrick's Day period

Everett Lynnwood Snohomish County DUI Attorney: Cops increasing DUI patrols during St. Patrick's Day period
DUI Patrols on statewide from March 11 to 20, 2011
CHELAN -- Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties, WA - Law enforcement throughout Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties will be out on the roadways between March 11 and 20 to arrest drunk drivers who are out partying during the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Participating in these St. Patrick's Day patrols are the Brewster, East Wenatchee and Wenatchee Police Departments, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Washington State Patrol.

Last year, during this same time period, a total number of 38 DUI arrests were made in Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties.

In Washington State, the most frequent factor contributing to traffic deaths is still driver impairment. In 2009, traffic crashes killed 491 people on Washington's roadways. Impaired drivers accounted for 53.8 percent of the total (264 deaths).

"Drunk or drugged driving remains the leading cause of death in traffic crashes. These preventable crashes can be eliminated if everyone works to become a part of the solution," said Lowell Porter, Director of the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.

Another factor is the time of day that traffic deaths involving impaired drivers occur. More than two-thirds of impaired-driver-involved fatal collisions occurred during nighttime hours (6 pm to 6 am) in Washington (67.4 percent from 2000-2009).
