Attala County Library - Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

48

Mississippi Highway Patrol State Trooper Jose Watson, presented a program titled “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” Watson explained that there has been a spike in impaired driving accidents among youth, especially in summer months. The trooper then stressed the importance of wearing a seatbelt when riding inside or operating a motor vehicle. He shared several personal experiences of instances when he has arrived at the scene of a fatal accident and the victims were not wearing seatbelts. Part of Watson’s message was also how to conduct oneself when stopped by a police officer or highway patrolman. At the end of the program, Watson brought several teenagers up to simulate a field sobriety test and allowed them to try to pass the test wearing “drunk goggles.”
