Virginia State Police Plan Sobriety Checkpoints in Richmond and Statewide


Posted on Dec 30, 2010

Telephone calls to Richmond area police departments indicate this New Year's Day weekend, they will be assisting Virginia State Police in manning sobriety checkpoints to identify and arrest drunk drivers.

This is part of a nationwide effort encouraged by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to deter partygoers from getting behind the wheels of their cars after they have consumed alcohol.

Sobriety checkpoints have netted  thousands of Virginians over the years they have been in effect, resulting in DUI arrests and convictions throughout the state.

Take our advice: if you plan to be celebrating with alcohol this weekend, do yourself a favor and have a designated driver, or call a taxi. Don't get behind the wheel of your car if you have been drinking.

If you need legal advice, call 804.726.4778.
