He cautions drivers to remain alert.He says many counties will have extra officers on patrol. Johnson plans to be out on the road too. He normally drives an unmarked car, but will drive a marked car this weekend.Johnson says sometimes just the site of a patrol car is enough to get people to slow down and pay better attention to their driving.
