San Diego DUI defense lawyers and San Diego drunk driving criminal attorneys are told the Winter Holiday DUI crackdown on drinking drivers continues in Riverside County. The first 17 days of the campaign has resulted in a large number of DUI arrests. The Riverside County “AVOID the 30” DUI Campaign, from midnight, December 12, 2008, through midnight December 29, 2008, are reporting provisional arrests of at least 365 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Tragically, there have been three DUI fatalities to report. The first two fatalities involved single vehicle motorcycle collisions, one occurring in Norco and the other in Palm Springs. The third DUI fatality occurred in Hemet, when a DUI driver struck a bicyclist.

Law enforcement officials will be conducting more anti DUI efforts countywide. So if you are gathering with family or friends – don’t drink and drive, plan for a designated driver.

All agencies will be on DUI alert and all CHP Areas throughout the state will have increased staffing during the New Year’s Holiday. “OVER THE LIMIT, UNDER ARREST” is all around the state, so if you choose to drink and drive this holiday season, expect to spend the night behind bars. Designate a driver before you celebrate. Your local police, Sheriff and the CHP encourage all motorists to help make your community safer by reporting drunk drivers – call 9-1-1.

“The public can be a big help in getting DUI suspects off the road,” said Riverside Police Department Supervisor Karen Haverkamp. “When you see a car swerving all over the road, driving much too fast or much too slow, braking for no reason, driving with no headlights at night or signaling one way and turning the other, make that call to 9-1-1.”
