This Memorial Day weekend, law enforcement agencies across Los Angeles County will join forces to conduct DUI checkpoints and DUI patrols to nab inebriated drivers from streets.

Beginning Friday, May 26 to Monday, May 30,  the Avoid the 100 Task Force will conduct a dozen DUI checkpoints in Los County cities, as well as increased DUI patrol efforts.

Also beginning this weekend, the California Highway Patrol will conduct a maximum enforcement period on the region’s freeways, state highways and unincorporated roads.

If a driver’s blood alcohol level is found to be above the legal limit of 0.08 percent, the driver can face an up to $1,800 fine, a suspended license, and mandatory jail time, among other penalties.

“Sobriety Checkpoints are a proven deterrent along with the ‘High Visibility’ enforcement campaigns to change behavior such as drunk driving, driving unrestrained and driving distracted,” said Chris Murphy, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety in a press statement.

Funding for the Avoid the 100 DUI Task Force is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Additional information about the Avoid Program and operational plans from around the region can be found at www.californiaavoid.org.
