Authorities in Oklahoma will be taking extra steps to catch people not wearing seatbelts and drinking & driving, starting this weekend.

Of course, troopers are watching for those violations all the time, but beginning this weekend, a special operation will do even more to target those people who do not follow the rules.

Drivers can expect vehicle checkpoints, and troopers with an eye for aggressive driving and seat belt violations.

"The program is going to extend through the Labor Day holiday. Obviously we're going to be utilizing all available personnel to go after the drinking and drunk diver, and we're also going to be concentrating on the safety belt restraints as well," Lt. Allen Henry of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol says.

Troopers say water safety will also be emphasized, with extra patrols on area lakes as well.
