(Sobriety/Drivers License Checkpoint)…It will be set-up this Friday.

The El Centro Sector Office of the California Highway Patrol says the checkpoint will be set-up somewhere in the Imperial County. It will be in operation from 7:00 pm until 3:00 am Saturday morning. They say the goal of the CHP is to ensure the safe passage of each and every motorist by targeting roads where there is a high frequency of intoxicated or unlicensed drivers. They say checkpoints are a proven effective tool for achieving this goal and is designed to augment existing patrol operations. Bu publicizing their efforts they believe they can deter motorists from being intoxicated or unlicensed while driving a motor vehicle.
