DOVER, Del. (November 24, 2025) – The Delaware Office of Highway Safety (OHS), Delaware State Police, and local law enforcement agencies are partnering to conduct a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Checkpoint on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, in New Castle County.
Thanksgiving is one of the most traveled holidays of the year, and one of the most dangerous for impaired driving crashes. Between 2020 and 2024, Delaware recorded 99 impaired driving crashes during the Thanksgiving holiday period (the Wednesday before through Sunday after).
The checkpoint is part of Delaware’s “Drive Sober. Arrive Alive.” campaign to reduce impaired driving crashes through education, outreach, and enforcement. OHS reminds drivers to plan ahead and never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
“Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate with family and friends, but those celebrations should never come at the cost of someone’s life,” said Sharon Bryson, Director, Delaware Office of Highway Safety. “We want everyone to enjoy the holiday and get home safely. If you plan to drink, plan a sober ride.”
OHS and Delaware State Police continue to work hand-in-hand to remind drivers that prevention and enforcement go together.
“When someone chooses to drive impaired, the consequences can be devastating,” said Lieutenant India Sturgis, Director of Public Information for the Delaware State Police. “One reckless decision can forever change multiple lives. Our partnership with OHS allows us to combine education with enforcement to prevent tragedies before they happen.”
To make it easier to celebrate responsibly, OHS encourages the use of a designated driver, public transportation, or its Sober Rides program, which offers $20 ride-share vouchers for Uber and Lyft. Learn more at MySoberRides.com.
