Oregon State Police and other law enforcement agencies will team up to enforce DUII and seat belt laws over the next two weeks. OSP Lieutenant Gregg Hastings says Labor Day weekend is one of the deadliest times on Oregon highways; an average of seven deaths per year, alcohol a contributing factor in about half of those.
Hastings says they'll also be watching for buckled belts, reminding parents to make sure their children are secured in car seats and booster seats appropriate to their height and weight.
