SARASOTA COUNTY (WSNN) – New Year’s celebrations continue over the weekend, which means you need to keep your eyes peeled for drunk drivers.
When you’re on the road, it’s important to know the signs of what impaired driving looks like.
To save yourself and potentially a loved one, Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Kenn Watson warns the roads are doubly dangerous now with more distractions; people are wanting to multitask.

(18s) “It used to be we always thought someone was probably impaired when they were weaving to and from a lane. Now, they could be on their phone, they could be eating or drinking. Now, you throw alcohol into play or perhaps other drugs and now it’s just a tragedy waiting to happen.”
Trooper Watson wants to remind you a DUI can change your life; you can lose your career, miss out on colleges, and more.
So let’s be safe out there; plan ahead.
