Nebraska State Patrol troopers assisted 215 motorists and took 13 impaired drivers off the streets during the Thanksgiving weekend. “Good weather made for safe travel conditions across much of our state over Thanksgiving weekend,” says Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “As the winter months approach, now is the time to begin preparing for winter driving.”
The Nebraska State Patrol, along with dozens of other law enforcement agencies in Nebraska, participated in the annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign from Wednesday, November 24 through Sunday, November 28.
In addition to the 13 arrests for impaired driving, troopers also issued 413 speeding citations, 21 for driving under suspension, 3 for open container, 3 for minor in possession and 10 each for no proof of insurance and no seat belt.
Troopers also performed 215 motorist assists over Thanksgiving weekend. The “Click It or Ticket” operation was made possible in part to a grant for $25,500 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.
