Governor Whitmer And Michigan State Police Share Holiday Safety Message

The Michigan State Police and Governor Whitmer are reminding motorists to obey traffic laws as you prepare to celebrate the Holiday season.

“As you hit the road to see family this holiday season, make sure you stay safe by keeping your eyes on the road and off your phone,” said Governor Whitmer in the press release.

From 2018 to 2022, during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, 66 people were killed in traffic crashes in Michigan, including 17 people who died in alcohol-involved crashes.

From now through Jan. 1, 2024, police throughout Michigan are participating in the federally funded “Drive Sober or Gt Pulle Over” enforcement campaign with increased patrols on roads and zero tolerance for those who drive impaired.
