The traffic stops also lead to citations for seatbelt violations, child restraint violations, more than 140 traffic violations as well as nine underage drinking infractions that were not related to driving, but resulted in misdemeanor arrests.
Officers note that several cars that were stopped had designated drivers; a safety precaution that is commonly overlooked. Also there were no fatal accidents during the enforcement period, which will likely lead safety advocates to call for more drunk driving enforcement.
Aggressive enforcement will continue throughout the holiday season, and drivers should be aware of similar enforcement actions in the greater Phoenix metro area.
