Over the past weekend, the New York State Police increased patrols to combat impaired driving during St. Patrick's Day celebrations. These patrols included DWI checkpoints, distracted driving enforcement, and checks for underage drinking. Last year's enforcement resulted in 132 DWI arrests and thousands of tickets. Authorities emphasize the severe consequences of drunk driving, including potential fatalities, fines up to $10,000, and other legal repercussions. These increased patrols will continue through tomorrow.
