Independence Day was yesterday, but the Fourth of July weekend travel period continues through midnight tonight.  The Georgia State Patrol says that they, along with local law enforcement, will continue to patrol the state’s roadways looking for impaired drivers.

The Georgia State Patrol encourages everyone to celebrate the holiday responsibly.  The Department of Public Safety wants everyone to put safety first by following the posted speed limit, not driving while impaired, making sure all occupants are restrained and keeping your hands off of your cell phone.

The Georgia State Patrol is participating in the Operation Zero Tolerance campaign, a nationwide mobilization against impaired driving.
