With backyard barbecues and public Independence Day celebrations back in full swing, the Virginia State Police is encouraging everyone to plan ahead for the holiday weekend.
“This year Independence Day means a lot of different things for Virginians, but it’s safe to say big celebrations will be part of your weekend plans,” said Col. Gary T. Settle, Virginia State Police Superintendent. “Whether watching a neighborhood fireworks display, heading to a big celebration or traveling for summer vacation, remember to buckle up, eliminate distractions and never drive buzzed, drunk or under the influence.”

VIRGINIA A significant increase in traffic is predicted for Memorial Day weekend across Virginia, and the state police want the public to make sure they drive with a safety first mindset.
The Virginia State Police issued a warning Thursday for motorists to obey all posted speed limits, wear their seatbelts and avoid distracted driving.
Beginning Friday, the state police will join law enforcement agencies across the country for Operation Crash Awareness Reduction Effort (C.A.R.E), a national program intended to reduce crashes, fatalities and injuries due to impaired driving, speed and failing to wear a seat belt.
