Troopers are urging everyone to designate a sober driver, buckle up, clear minor crashes, and obey the “Move Over, Slow Down” law — with over 8,800 such violations already logged this year. Last year, they issued more than 64,000 citations, including hundreds of drunk driving arrests. If you see something suspicious, use the iWatchTexas app — but always call 911 for emergencies.
