According to The Steuben County Sheriff’s office, St. Patrick’s Day weekend is a notoriously deadly period for impaired driving due to the number of celebrations and drivers on the road.

The STOP-DWI Saint Patrick’s Day Weekend Crackdown is one of many statewide efforts promoted by STOP-DWI NY and the Governers Traffic Safety Committee.
The Statewide STOP-DWI Crackdown Campaign also targets Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day Weekend, Halloween, and the December Holiday season.
