Union City Traffic Safety Program

Lights on for Life Day

The month of December is designated as "National Drunk & Drugged Driving, (3-D), Prevention Month". Increased efforts to reduce impaired driving has made a dramatic difference in fatalities and injuries since 1982 when this program began.

On 15 December 2000, we will be participating in National Lights on for Life Day. We encourage all motorist to drive with their headlights on in order to increase Traffic Safety Awareness.

We, as a Police Department, cannot do it alone. In order to make a difference here in Union City, we need everyone's help. First, don't drink and drive. Second, encourage safe driving behaviors among your family, friends, and coworkers. Thirdly, volunteer to be a designated driver or provide a place for someone to stay.

Please support our efforts to rid our streets of impaired drivers. We need encouragement toward continued enforcement of impaired driving laws. Driving laws which are designed to protect your family, friends, and the community at large. Impaired driving is not just a problem for the police, the courts, or the victims but is a problem for all of us.
