Los Angeles, CA
First of all, you have to be a total idiot to drive drunk.  Don’t do it.  I don’t know how many friends I have lost in my lifetime due to alcohol and cars.  It is a deadly combination, and law enforcement is going to be on patrol in Los Angeles this weekend.
The LAPD is continuing its efforts at lowering the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes locally and through the county’s Avoid DUI Task Force Campaign sobriety/driver’s license checkpoint.  Personnel will be checking drivers to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as heightening awareness to the dangers of impaired driving.
 
The summer months are a dangerous time of the year and your odds of being involved in an alcohol involved collision can be high.  In 2008 law enforcement statewide reported that 7, 801 people were injured or killed during the three summer months of June, July and August.
This weekend the LAPD will be hold TWO Sobriety & Drivers License Checkpoints in Los Angeles.  I wanted to post this information for my readers, and please, if you drink, don’t be stupid, and just DON’T get behind a wheel!
