Law enforcement will be on heightened alert for impaired drivers during Halloween weekend.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is working with Colorado State Patrol and law enforcement agencies across the state to help keep impaired drivers off of Colorado roads during the weekend.
Most DUI citations issued by Colorado law enforcement are on the weekend between 10 p.m. Fridays and 2 a.m. Saturdays, and again from 10 p.m. Saturdays to 2 a.m. Sundays. All drivers need to remember that they can be arrested for impaired driving if their blood-alcohol content is at any level above zero, even if it’s below the legal limit of .08% for DUI or .05% for DWAI.
Personal breathalyzers can keep drivers safe by informing them of their BAC and how long to wait until they are sober. Currently, Colorado residents may purchase a personal breathalyzer through BACtrack for 20% off by going to www.codot.gov/safety/alcohol-and-impaired-driving. The offer expires Nov. 30.
