The Tennessee Highway Patrol announced early this morning that they will
be ramping up their presence across the state during Cinco de Mayo. THP
Col. Tracy Trott says there will be more patrols and specialized traffic
safety enforcement beginning at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and concluding at midnight
Wednesday. Remember, having an alcoholic beverage and then driving is
not illegal but driving while impaired is. There is a thin line between
the two and if you think you are over the limit, you probably are. Please
be responsible as always! For a full list of THP checkpoints, click here.
