ATLANTA — The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is joining state and local law enforcement agencies to remind drivers to make the smart choice to never drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs or a combination of both substances.
State troopers, GOHS Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic, or H.E.A.T, units and the 16 GOHS Regional Traffic Enforcement Networks are stepping up enforcement of DUI and all traffic laws during the upcoming July 4th holiday travel weekend that begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 2 and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, July 5.
Troopers, deputies, and officers will be targeting drunk and drugged driving, speeding, aggressive driving, reckless driving, distracted driving, failure to wear a seat belt and all traffic laws with the goal of saving lives by preventing crashes on Georgia roads and highways. State troopers and local law enforcement officers made more than 700 DUI arrests during the 2025 Operation Zero Tolerance July 4 holiday mobilization that ran from June 27 to July 6.
State and local law enforcement agencies continue to remind everyone that Georgia is a zero-tolerance state for drunk driving. That means any driver found with a Blood-Alcohol Concentration level above the legal limit in Georgia of .08 will be arrested.
