More Troopers Out For Labor Day Weekend

(Learfield News/St. Paul, MN) — The Minnesota State Patrol is telling drivers to slow down, pay attention, and stay sober before the holiday weekend.

The agency says more troopers will be on the road during the Labor Day weekend to try to catch those who are impaired, distracted, or driving recklessly.

Troopers will also be watching out for drivers who fail to move over for vehicles stopped on the side of the highway and will issue tickets for not obeying the state’s Move Over law.

Monday marks the end of the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, commonly known as the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer.
