The Chula Vista Police Department will conduct a DUI checkpoint within the city on Friday, the department announced Wednesday.
The checkpoint will take place from 5 p.m. to midnight.
“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” CVPD Traffic Bureau Agent Brian Carter said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.”
Police reminded the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol, but some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving, according to the department.
“While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license,” the department said in a statement.
Funding for DUI checkpoints was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
