DUI Checkpoint Friday night in Livingston

There will be a DUI checkpoint in Livingston, California on Friday, August 29. Exact time and location are not known. DUI checkpoints have proven to be successful in lowering the number of drunk drivers in the state of California. Alerting the surrounding communities of a DUI checkpoint helps lower the number because people hear of a checkpoint in there area and are less likely to get behind the wheel after they have been drinking.

DUI in California can be costly for you. A first time offense can result in up to 6 months in jail, $2,600 in fines and penalties, a 10-month license suspension, and an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle. The best way to avoid a DUI is never drive under the influence. If you will be drinking you should appoint a designated driver, or take a cab.

Drive safe this weekend. Holiday weekends, like Labor Day Weekend, are especially problematic for drunk drivers as police as usually out in greater numbers trying to keep the roadways safe for everyone.
