The Labor Day Weekend means fun and festivities while people are enjoying the last unofficial week of summer, and the Illinois State Police want you to enjoy the weekend safely.

Trooper Sean Ramsey with the Illinois State Police says enforcement will be up over the holiday weekend, and with the ride options available today, there’s no reason for anyone to get a DUI.

Part of Ramsey’s work includes speaking to driver’s education classes about road safety. He says part of his presentation includes drinking and driving, and that every class has a child whose life has been affected by drinking and driving.

Ramsey appeared as a guest on the NewsTalk WTIM Morning Show.
