High-visibility DUI patrols are being increased throughout Delaware, starting with the long Super Bowl weekend and running through the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. That’s Feb. 9 through March 19.
In 2022, there were 1,175 crashes, 103 serious injuries and 4,655 arrests involving impaired driving in Delaware. From Feb. 10-14 (last year’s Super Bowl weekend), there were 72 impaired driving arrests.
“If you’re going out to a Super Bowl party and you plan to drink alcohol, make sure you plan to have a designated driver,” Kimberly Chesser, director of the Delaware Office of Highway Safety, said in announcing the campaign, which also involves State Police and local police agencies.
