‘Drive Hammered, Get Nailed’ anti-DUI effort starts soon

Issaquah police officers plan to join a regional push to pull drunken drivers from local roads as summer comes to a close.

The agency is joining other police departments in King County — and more than 10,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide — from Aug. 19 to Sept. 5 in the Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign.

Beneath the clever title is a serious message about the impacts of drunken driving and driving under the influence. DUI crashes claimed 38 people on King County roads last year.

During the Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign last year, officers on routine and extra patrols arrested 438 people for DUI. Overall, prosecutors charged 9,521 people countywide for DUI last year.

Besides the Issaquah Police Department, the Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign includes the nearby Bellevue, Newcastle, North Bend, Sammamish, Snoqualmie and Renton police departments, in addition to the Washington State Patrol.

The effort is organized and supported under the aegis of the King County Target Zero Task Force, a regional effort to crack down on unsafe driving practices.

“This new law helps eliminate the danger of drunk drivers getting back into their cars and putting everyone at risk,” Washington Traffic Safety Commission Director Lowell Porter said in a statement. “Now, all drunk drivers face the costs of towing and impound in addition to jail time, losing their driver’s license and the high cost of a DUI.”
