THP\u2019s mission is to keep drivers safe when traveling.<\/p>\n<p>This campaign is aimed at deterring impaired driving and reducing fatal crashes on Tennessee roadways. THP will focus our attention on distracted, reckless, speeding and unrestrained motorists. State troopers will perform saturation patrols, as well as seat belt, sobriety and driver license checkpoints.&nbsp; All of Tennessee\u2019s 95 counties will have troopers working to ensure a safe holiday.
