The Colorado State Patrol and local law enforcement agencies in several mountain towns will increase their presence to target aggressive and impaired drivers on Friday, July 18, according to a news release.
State troopers and Sheriff’s Offices in Summit, Lake, Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties will be participating in the operation, which aims to crack down on “aggressive or reckless driving behaviors that lead to crashes,” the release states.
Law enforcement officers will be enforcing drinking and driving laws, compliance with posted speed limits and the hands-free law, according to the news release. Drivers should plan ahead for a sober ride, drive the speed limit and control their lane position.
Anyone who encounters a suspected impaired driver can contact the State Patrol at *277 or 303-239-4501.
