Telling You A Little Secret

All over the country,

under law,

Police

are supposed to warn citizens of upcoming

Sobriety Checkpoints.

They do not have to say where the checkpoint is going to be located,

just that there is going to be one.

And in one local

Southern California Town,

the

Police

have announced their intentions in the local

eNewspaper.

Temecula Police Announce Upcoming DUI Checkpoint
"Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing..."

By Renee Schiavone (Patch Staff) 

TEMECULA, CA – "Temecula police announced Tuesday an upcoming DUI/driver's license checkpoint in the city. The operation will be held Friday night, police said. According to Sgt. Bill Pratt, the checkpoint will begin at 7:30 p.m. It will run until 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The deterrent effect of High Visibility Enforcement using both DUI checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols has proven to lower the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug impaired crashes, Pratt said in a news release. "Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized proactive DUI operations are conducted routinely."

And in this age of the

,Smartphone,

there is even an

App

that you can download,

to warn of upcoming checkpoints.

It's called

mrcheckpoint!

They advertise that there app will give you

"Free DUI Checkpoint Alerts."

I am not condoning drinking

and driving.

Or,

drug use

and driving.

When I was young I made the mistake of driving while intoxicated

and I paid the price for it.

According to

DrunkDrivingLawyers.com

"The average cost of a first time DUI in any jurisdiction or state typically averages around $10,000, and in state of California, according to the California Drivers Handbook warnings, these costs will likely be more."

But today,

you have so many more options,

not to drink

and drive.

It is only the fool who gets caught doing so.

Tell a friend who doesn't drink to drive you.

Use

Lyft Or Uber.

Call a cab.

Anything but drinking

and driving.

Luckily for me,

I took care of my problem,

not letting it become a bigger problem

and ruining my life.

This is,

Telling You A Little Secret.

In The State Of California,

Under Law,

Before A Checkpoint There Must Be A Turn Off One Half Mile Ahead Of The Road Block Where People Can Turn.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
