With the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday local law enforcement agencies are reminding travelers to drive safe and use caution over the weekend. According to Marion County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Bigaouette, law enforcement agencies will be stepping up enforcement efforts to make roadways as safe as possible, with extra focus on seat belt use and impaired drivers. Pella Police Chief Michael Marcinkowski says the .08 blood alcohol limit will be strictly enforced and seat belts are important because they not only save lives but a $130 fine could be issued if they are not worn. Knoxville Police Chief Dan Losada says holiday weekends are often some of the busiest times for travelers and urges drivers to be extra alert and aware of their surroundings.
