VENTURA : Police Message Aimed at Drinking Drivers
Ventura police will drive with their headlights on all day Friday as a symbolic reminder of those who have died or been injured in drinking-related driving accidents.
Ventura residents have been invited to participate and drive with their headlights on.
The gesture is part of a statewide effort by the California Office of Traffic Safety to curtail drinking and driving.
“ ‘Lights on for Life’ sends a positive message to the community and reminds the public that during the holidays, law enforcement will be cracking down on those who choose to drink and drive and place innocent people’s lives in jeopardy,” said Laura Robinson, a department spokeswoman.
