Sheriff asking worst drivers to take a walk
Associated Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The sheriff's office has a request for the county's worst drivers: Don't drive.
Officials are working with the driver licensing bureau in Denver to get a list of all habitual traffic offenders in El Paso County, said Sgt. Bill Haragan.
"We hope to pick the worst of the worst and make contact with them," Haragan said.
Officers will then contact the worst drivers by phone or in person and ask them to stay off the roads.
Since last summer, officials say their overall efforts to target dangerous motorists - repeat drunken drivers, those with revoked or suspended licenses and those with outstanding traffic warrants - have resulted in more than 700 arrests.
"Our hope is that we won't have to write another ticket for people driving under suspended licenses," Haragan said.
