In an effort to combat the losses caused by impaired driving, the Santa Cruz Area CHP will be conducting a DUI checkpoint to aggressively seek those who choose to drive under the influence.
The DUI checkpoint will be in South County, somewhere outside of Watsonville city limits from 10 p.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Sunday.
It is CHP’s goal to use this enforcement tool to assist with the reduction of injury and fatal collisions caused by impaired drivers.

CHP reminds the motoring public to designate a driver if they happen to allow any substance which may impair safe driving to be part of their day. Remember to always wear your seatbelt; it is your best defense against impaired drivers.
