On Thursday, December 11, 2014, members of the
Calvert County Sheriff’s Office attended the 11th Annual Maryland
Remembers event. This event memorializes
those people who lost their lives to impaired drivers in the state of Maryland
throughout the years. An average of 175
people are killed annually in Maryland by impaired drivers. Many names were read at the start of the
event, including a 2 year old child who was killed by an impaired driver. There were several guest speakers, including
former Calvert County Commissioner and current Deputy Secretary of the Maryland
Department of Transportation, Wilson H. Parran.
This
event is a reminder why law enforcement agencies are aggressively enforcing traffic
laws and taking impaired drivers off of the road. The Maryland MVA has created and launched an
app called ENDUI. The ENDUI app is an
educational tool kit created to give impaired driving safety information, so
you can make good choices when out drinking.
The ENDUI app is available on iTunes and Google Play.
Please remember this holiday season and every day of the year - #DriveSober or get pulled over.
