Lincoln, NE – Nebraska State Patrol troopers arrested 83 impaired drivers during their statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over holiday enforcement campaign, officials announced this week.
According to the Nebraska State Patrol, the campaign ran through the holiday season, focusing on stopping impaired and unsafe driving during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. The patrol shared the update on social media, reminding drivers to “make a resolution to always drive sober.”
Troopers conducted extra patrols and sobriety checkpoints across multiple counties, with support from the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office. The campaign resulted in dozens of arrests and citations, highlighting ongoing concerns about impaired driving during holiday celebrations.
Officials noted that the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit in Nebraska is 0.08%, while one driver recorded a BAC of 0.219%, nearly three times the legal threshold.
