Fourth of July Weekend – Impaired Driving Enforcement Campaign

Starting this Thursday, July 4th, and continuing through the 4th of July Weekend, the Maui Police Department's Traffic Division will conduct sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols at various locations to address impaired driving over the holiday weekend.

Motorists can expect the Maui Police Department to take a zero-tolerance approach to impaired driving. We aim to promote voluntary compliance with all traffic laws and reduce motor vehicle crashes on our roadways.

The Maui Police Department DUI Task Force Unit is also asking for the public's assistance in helping to keep our roadways safe for everyone by following these simple tips:

• Plan a safe way home before you start celebrating.

• Before drinking, designate a sober driver and give them your keys before going out.

• If you have been drinking, utilize a car service, take a taxi, or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.

• If you see an impaired driver on the road, call the Maui Police Department to report it. You could save a life.

• Don't let friends or family members drive under the influence. If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, be a true friend and take their keys. Help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
