Why this matters in Southlake News
The "Drive Sober, No Regrets" campaign is a stark reminder of the dangers that lurk on Tarrant County roads, particularly during holidays like the Fourth of July when celebrations often involve alcohol. As Southlake residents take to the roads to visit family and friends or attend local fireworks displays, they will be sharing those roads with drivers from across North Texas, including those who may have had too much to drink. The partnership between TxDOT and a Frisco mother who lost her daughter to a drunken driver adds a poignant local dimension to the campaign, emphasizing the devastating consequences of DWI crashes. With Texas police stepping up enforcement, Southlake drivers can expect to see increased patrols and checkpoints, especially on major thoroughfares and highways connecting to the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
