Never DUI

My Car

People frequently ask me, “Kajon WTF? Why do you post the locations of DUI checkpoints?”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that when well-publicized sobriety checkpoints were conducted, alcohol-related crashes and fatalities decreased by more than 20 percent.
“Sobriety checkpoints are one of the most critical tools available for law enforcement to deter drunk driving,” said Mary Klotzbach, public policy liaison for MADD California Klotzbach states,
“Sobriety checkpoints send a message that if a motorist chooses to drive drunk, he or she will get caught.”
A 20% decrease in crashes and fatalities is a number too high to ignore and my goal is help, not hurt. Here is the link to a post where this very question has been explored extensively. http://blogs.kcrw.com/shortcuts/should-dui-checkp…
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent.
