That Holiday Cheer Can Go the Wrong Way On Our Roads
Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest
Menifee, CA- As party-goers celebrate the holidays with friends and family, everyone should heed Menifee Police Department’s warning to keep the party off the road or be ready to face the consequences. Law Enforcement will be out in force beginning December 17th through the New Year’s weekend cracking down on anyone caught drunk or drugged behind the wheel.
Menifee Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Driver License checkpoint in partnership with the Avoid DUI Task Force Campaigns and law enforcement nationwide on January 1, 2011 within the city of Menifee.
“After hearing about the dangers of drinking and driving time after time, most people have gotten the message that if they’re planning on drinking, they should always plan a safe way home,” said Sergeant Lingo of Menifee Police Department. “But sadly, millions of Americans still think they are invincible and regularly choose to get behind the wheel after having too much to drink.”
Menifee Police Department said parents should take note that young males are at particularly high risk, with nearly one-quarter admitting to riding with someone who should not have been behind the wheel in the past year.
