MAY WILL BE A MONTH OF DWI CHECKPOINTS AND SATURATION PATROLS IN RIO RANCHO … AND NOT JUST FOR THOSE DRIVING DRUNK. CAPTAIN PAUL ROGERS WITH RIO RANCHO POLICE SAYS THEY’RE ALSO GOING AFTER DRIVERS IMPAIRED FROM USING OVER-THE-COUNTER OR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
HE TELLS US THESE DRUGS CAN BE A PROBLEM IF THE DRIVER TAKES TOO MANY PILLS OR DOESN’T FOLLOW A DOCTOR’S INSTRUCTIONS. HE SAYS EVEN WHEN YOU FOLLOW THOSE INSTRUCTIONS YOU CAN BE IMPAIRED FOR DRIVING.
ROGERS SUGGEST YOU USE A DESIGNATED DRIVER IF YOU’RE ON MEDICATION.
