2015 DUI Patrol Numbers Show Rise in Drug-Impaired Driving

This is the final weekend of those holiday patrols and we’ll have numbers for you in the coming weeks. Right now, we turn to last year’s holiday patrol stats, released this week by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. Dan Langager breaks them down.
