Los Angeles County Avoid the 100 DUI Task Force
Set For Crackdown on Impaired Driving

Law Enforcement Reminds Drivers to End the Summer on a Safe Note

[Los Angeles, CA] If you drink and drive in Los Angeles County beware, the Los Angeles County Avoid the 100 DUI Task Force is joining with law enforcement throughout the state for the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign August 17 to September 3, 2012.

DUI/ Driver's License Checkpoints, Multi Agency DUI Task Force deployments and local roving DUI patrols are scheduled locally in partnership with law enforcement nationwide during the Summer/Labor Day Campaign. (See attached Enforcement Schedule of Operations)

The crime of impaired driving is a serious one. In 2010 alone, 791 people died in California in crashes in which a driver or motorcycle rider was at or above the legal limit. The age group with the highest percentage of alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes was the 21-to-24 age group.

“On average there is one alcohol impaired driving-related fatality every 51 minutes across America. But this tragic loss of life can be reduced if we get impaired drivers off our roadways,” said Glendora Police Chief Rob Castro. “Research has shown that high-visibility enforcement like the 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' campaign reduces alcohol-impaired driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. By joining this statewide wide effort, we will make Los Angeles County's roadways safer for everyone throughout the Labor Day period.”

California Highway Patrol Assistant Chief Bill Dance with the Southern Division Headquarters Office said CHP, Police and Sheriff Deputies will be aggressively looking for all impaired drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone they find driving while impaired. CHP will deploy all available officers during the Labor Day holiday weekend onto freeways and county roads they patrol.

“Obviously we want to remind everyone that it is illegal to drive impaired, and we hope the campaign will remind people that if they plan on drinking, to never get behind the wheel,” said Avoid Representative Lieutenant Rob Lamborghini. “But if someone does choose to drive impaired, we will arrest them,” he said.

According to the Avoid the 100 DUI Task Force, violators will face jail time, loss of their driver licenses, or being sentenced to use ignition interlocks. Their insurance rates go up. Other financial hits include attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of job or job prospects. When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators can also face tremendous personal embarrassment and humiliation.

The national Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown is led by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), with the California Avoid DUI Task Force Campaign combining high-visibility enforcement and heightened public awareness and impaired driving deterrence through publicity.

The Program is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration who reminds everyone to Report Drunk Driving – Call 9-1-1!
