State Police License Plates
Tomorrow marks the start of the Labor Day weekend…meaning NO labor!
Like many of you I’m thankful to have a job and will hit the roads for some relaxing “wind in the face” time over the holiday. Be safe!
It’s no secret that law enforcement agencies are putting more officers out on the roadways. In fact, fatal crash statistics tracked by ODOT’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) (.pdf) indicate the Labor Day holiday period is historically the second deadliest on Oregon roads. On average since 1970, seven traffic-related deaths occur in Oregon each year during Labor Day holiday. Eleven people died during last year’s Labor Day holiday period in 9 separate fatal traffic crashes. Nine of the deaths were alcohol or drug involved.
Enjoy the long weekend!
