More DUI checkpoints are in store for Orange County drivers. Law enforcement has received a grant from the California Offices of Traffic Safety to conduct more DUI and valid driver’s license checkpoints.
Drivers with any amount of alcohol in their systems and unlicensed drivers should beware, as should those not wanting to get stuck in serious traffic jams.
In the last several weeks, Orange County has had more than its share of DUI sobriety checkpoints and DUI roving patrols. While most of these DUI checkpoints are announced prior to their commencement, it is not unusual for the location to be undisclosed or for the announcement to arrive literally moments before the checkpoint will be conducted.
During a recent anti-DUI campaign called “Avoid the 38”, officers were on the hunt for motorists who were driving under the influence of alcohol and or drugs and their efforts proved to be fruitful. According to released statistics, over 856 people were arrested for driving under the influence in Orange County during the two week stint that started on August 19th and ended on Labor Day, September 5th.
