CHP warns of DUI crackdown on Halloween

10/29/2007

The California Highway Patrol wants you to know it is dead serious about California DUI - drunk driving, especially on Halloween.

If you're caught for a California DUI / drunk driving / driving under the influence, California DUI officers will be treating you to time in the local jail.

Besides possible jail time, a California DUI violator faces the possible loss of his or her license, alcohol-treatment classes and other expenses that can top $10,000.

On the weekend before Halloween last year, the CHP arrested 1,258 people statewide for California DUI or California drunk driving or California driving under the influence.

One way to avoid problems is to designate a sober driver at the night's start.

A California Drunk Driving accident or California DUI is the leading cause of fatal traffic collisions in California, the CHP says. In 2006, it says, 1,597 people died in alcohol-related crashes, and 14 percent of those killed in alcohol-related collisions were under age 21.

Motorists are urged to call 9-1-1 to report suspected San Diego California drunk drivers.
