New Year's Eve marks one of the busiest times of the year for New York State Police when it comes to traffic stops. 

"We're going to be out there in full force looking for violations to keep everybody safe in addition," Captain Jason Cease of New York State Police Troup C said. "But, you know, right from the start, everybody should have a plan if they plan on drinking.

State police will have at least two days of checkpoints, including stationary checkpoints looking for impaired drivers, and additional patrols, including DWI Saturation Patrols

Cease says the three most popular reasons for stops are distracted driving, DWIs, and the most frequent, speeding.

"Every ten miles an hour, you go over 55, your chances of dying in a collision double," Cease said. 

Currently, the state is in its annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Campaign, lasting from December 11 to January 1. 

"Even if you've had one drink, you think you're okay, don't chance it. It's not worth the risk. Also, as far as distracted driving, that causes a lot of accidents and even death," Cease said. 

It's always important to remember to drive safely around the holidays, and as one Fox 40 reporter hopped in a ride along with a state trooper today, things took an unexpected turn. 

Fox 40's Mike White joined a New York State Trooper on a ride along to see what a typical traffic stop looks like. However, after seeing a driver going 92 mph in a 65 mph zone, the police vehicle began what was supposed to be a typical traffic stop. 

But, the ride-along turned into a high-speed chase on I-86, as the vehicle didn't pull over and reached a top speed of 101 mph during the chase. The State Trooper vehicle Mike White was in chased the car from Exit 77 on I-86, or West Windsor, all the way to Kirkwood. 

"We stopped the the motorist. He ended up telling us that he did not have a driver's license," New York State Trooper for Troop C Richard Legenhausen said. "Through further investigation, we confirmed that he didn't have a driver's license. There was no one in the vehicle that had a license."

Soon finding out the registered owner lived hours away, the troopers decided to tow the vehicle and conducted an inventory search of the car and pat down of the motorist. But upon the investigation and searching, this traffic stop took an unsuspected turn.

"Initially he was trying to deny that it was narcotics. He did later admit to us that he was in possession of cocaine. He had a quantity of cocaine," Legenhausen said. 

The two told the troopers they were traveling from Poughkeepsie to the City of Binghamton. 

The 17-year-old passenger was detained but soon released and brought to the City of Binghamton bus station. However, the 21-year-old driver was arrested for possession of narcotics. 

"If this person had not been violating the vehicle and traffic law, they would have been onto their destination," Legenhausen said. "Instead, they drew our attention by their unsafe behavior and ended up getting arrested as a result of it."

If you or a loved one is driving tomorrow night, remember to be safe.
