The Paso Robles police department announced it will be conducting a DUI checkpoint on December 15th from 6 pm to 1 am at an undisclosed location in the city.
The police department says DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The police department reminds the public that driving under the influence is not just from alcohol, and includes over-the-counter drugs, prescription medications, and marijuana.
Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of 13 thousand dollars in fines and penalties as well as suspended license.
