DUI Checkpoint For Labor Day Weekend In Culver City

CULVER CITY, CA — The Culver City Police Department announced they would be holding a DUI checkpoint this Labor Day weekend at an undisclosed location within the city.

According to a statement from the Culver City Police Department, the locations are based on data trends that show where impaired driving-related crashes happen. The checkpoint will be from 7 p.m. to midnight.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Culver City Police Chief Manuel Cid said in the statement. “Any preventative measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

Impaired driving doesn't just include alcohol, some prescriptions medications, over-the-counter drugs, other illegal drugs and marijuana can also land someone a DUI.

First-time DUI charges can cost an average of $13,500 in fines and drivers could get their licenses suspended if convicted.
