Massachusetts State Police has an active campaign going on called the "New England Drive to Save Lives" campaign. The campaign consists of law enforcement agencies across all six New England states teaming up for this campaign. It's been active throughout the summer and right through this Labor Day. Here's a statement about the campaign per the Massachusetts State Police's Instagram Page.

Now through Labor Day, the Massachusetts State Police and our partners throughout New England will be stepping up enforcement to crack down on dangerous driving behaviors, including speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, and aggressive driving. Our goal isn't to write more tickets—it's to save lives. Make safe choices behind the wheel, slow down, stay focused, and help keep New England's roads safe for everyone.

So make sure you have fun this weekend, but refrain from getting behind the wheel after you've had alcohol. The same goes for cell phone use while driving. By practicing safe driving habits, you'll save your life and the lives of others around you.
